Apache very slow, svnserve fast under Windows 2003 server
I am confused and blearyeyed after having read manuals, FAQs and newsgroups.
Having had a splendid experience with using subversion repositories on RH
and SuSE Linux and Windows 2000 Server, I decided to install Apache2 with
WebDAV and mod_dav_svn etc on a Windows 2003 Server box.
No joy! Doing an svn list through Apache on localhost as well as from Red
Hat, SuSE and Windows XP took over five minutes for a repository with some
200 C++ files and eighty revision levels.
Stopping Apache and starting svnserver -d on the same server gave almost
instantaneous response locally as well as across the switched 1GBit subnet
that these machines are on. There was no other traffic on the subnet.
Starting Apache again gave the same sorry results.
Has anybody the same experiences?? I am stumped (probably does not take
much)

You forget to mention if you compare 1.1.0 on RH and SuSE with 1.1.0 on
Windows XP. There are changes after 1.0.8 (incorporated in 1.0.9 and 1.1.0)
which make subversion slower.
We'd need to know more about your setup to know if this issue can be
addressed for you. There is a httpd configurantion keyword (undocumented) in
1.1.1 which could bring 1.0.8's snappyness back.
HTH,
Erik.

A big thanks to all who have helped me today on this performance issue.

(svnserve is still appreciably faster, but we need the Apache integration

This directive is broken in 1.1.0. It works in 1.1.1.

Mark,
I tried this and restarted Apache, but no cigar. I think I shall have to go
and try on Linux (SuZE, probably) to see if I am doing something
conceptually wrong..........

Apache is always slower than svnserve, but in this case it is a specific
performance regression in 1.0.8/1.1.0 that was corrected in 1.0.9/1.1.1.
Also, in your Apache location directive you should add SVNPathAuthz off so
that it looks like this:
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /public/Repositories
SVNPathAuthz off
</Location>
That will get you the maximum Apache performance. This problem affects
Apache on all platforms, but it was most noticeable on Windows.
