Probably don't want to do that.
We are in a commercial environment, with some 20 developers relying on
subversion - not the time for an alpha release.
We are actually happy with the current performance, particularly since
the load of other tasks on the server (backups, opengrok indexing of the
repo for instance) is now shared by 4 processors instead of 1. I was
reviewing the overall configuration, and we already use memcached to
support ReviewBoard for code reviews.
We will be particularly interested in server side performance
improvements when 1.7.0 is released - we have home grown build
dependency tools that are sometimes heavy on the repository usage -
these will be difficult to upgrade to 1.7.0, but if there are uncoupled
server performance improvements, the server upgrade is trivial by
comparison.
