I don't understand what rsync would have to do with Subversion.

Also, you really should be more precise in your reports: if by "disk
usage of machine goes to 100%" you mean that your file system is full,
it's not at all surprising that the system grinds to a halt.

What are "better specs", exactly? It's not at all obvious to me that a
SunFire T1000 would have "better specs" than an ordinary off-the-shelf
PC running Linux. For example, by default, the T1000 has about 80GB of
disk ... compared to about 10 times as much on your common desktop box.
So, again, you'll have to be more precise in your comparisons.

This really shouldn't matter, unless you now have a directory with tens
of thousands of entries in it. And your use of the term "100% disk
usage" seems to be about I/O, not capacity (which is quite strange). On
the other hand, if you're actually rsyncing lots of data to or from your
machine, it's not surprising that you use up all available disk
bandwidth. But I still don't know how Subversion would be related to rsync.
