Thanks for the suggestion. We tried that, didn't appear to have any
noticeable effect. Here's another data point (actually 3). If I do a
single checkout of the whole repository it takes about 30s. If I do 2
at the same time, each takes 90s. If I do 8 at the same time it takes
20 minutes or so. (30 takes 4 hours from earlier experience.) The
server is a four processor (intel xeon 2.8ghz) with 4gb memory. And the
total size of the db 'strings' file of the repository is 2.0GB or so.
We are checking out a HEAD revision.
