It's mainly using Subversion for updating and checking out where they
notice it slower. I know that Subversion has a lot more data that's
brought over the network, and Windows is not good at transferring data
over the network, but it should be faster than CVS in updating,
diffing, revering, and other activities because it doesn't have to
connect to the server to fetch a lot of data.
We are using http:// w/ LDAP authorization, and FSFS. One programmer
is saying that FSFS is what makes it so slow.
Anyway, I was just curious whether or not this seemed to be an issue
with anyone. Or whether Subclipse or Subversive was a better plugin
for Eclipse.
