Slow loading into a bdb repository

[Daniel Lidström <da...@sbg.se>]

Hello!

Has anyone else experienced very slow loading of dump files into a bdb
repository?
I have tried both with the latest 1.4 version as well as the 1.3.2 version,
first
creating an empty repository of dbd kind and then loading a dump file. It
seems the
loading takes longer and longer for each revision. WindowsXP.

Hälsningar,
Daniel

If you're loading a dump into a repository, then you can turn off the syncing 
feature, just for the import, which will greatly speed it up:

1) svnadmin create --fs-type bdb --bdb-txn-nosync repos

2) Do the import.

3) Then turn on syncing by editing repos/db/DB_CONFIG and commenting out the line

set_flags DB_TXN_NOSYNC

4) Then recover the repository:

svnadmin recover repos

Blair
