Re: performance issue concerning externals

Just before the I received the mail, I deleted my apr and did a new clean
install on svnserve,
including the ./configure --with-dev-random=/dev/urandom for apr.
Still the same issue.
I did the configure just in case, since I found that suggestion in the
subversion.tigris.org FAQ a couple of days ago.
It would be intresting to know, what actually happens when the prossess
hangs on:

socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4
connect(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(10023), sin_addr=inet_addr("
78.46.66.102")}, 16) = 0
read(4, "( success ( 1 2 ( ANONYMOUS ) ( "..., 4096) = 76
write(4, "( 2 ( edit-pipeline svndiff1 abs"..., 100) = 100
read(4, "( success ( ( CRAM-MD5 ) 14:as3s"..., 4096) = 47
write(4, "( CRAM-MD5 ( ) ) ", 17) = 17
read(4,

Is that one of the places where random numbers are needed?
