Re: Windows SVN Client Incredibly Slow

From: Charlie Davis <fishgills_at_fishgills.net>

I've turned off my anti-virus and don't index my hard drive.

When I do the SVN commands, my hard drive is idle and cpu is idle. With svn update, it will sit there for a minute doing nothing.... then all the sudden svn cpu's usage spikes, hard drive start being used and it commences with the update.

I don't get slow updates or commits. It just takes forever for svn to start them it seems.

For example, with an update I type "svn update" and I get nothing. Just sits there for a minute. Then I get the output from the command in real-time. There's just a LONG pause before it does anything.
