With the virus scanner turned off and Tortoise cache turned off, it's
still very slow. I think you are right about the high directory/file
ratio - If I do an update on the part that's just media, which is 9.9GB
(13.1GB on disk), 65k files, 8.5k folders, it updates in about 30 seconds.
If I do it on the code folder, which is 96.3MB (2.68GB on disk), 44k
files, 46k folders, it takes 2 minutes, 5 seconds.
This is after a fresh update, so a lot of things are already cached.
We are using a framework which keeps a lot of empty folders. I'm not
sure if it's safe to delete them. Is there anything we can do to speed
things up in our situation short of waiting for 1.7 (which probably
wont' be out for a few years).
