Cause of SVN Slow Down: https or per-directory access control?

Hey, I recently switched from a repository over http:// with no per  
directory access control to one using some complicated per directory  
access control and https://. I've noticed that compared to Apache's  
SVN repository, for example, mine is very slow even to browse in SVN  
Repository Explorer in Eclipse using Subclipse. I'm using the native  
libraries on OS X for Subclipse.

Between the switch to secure http (SSL) and per-dir access controls,  
which would degrade the performance most? Seems like the per-dir  
access control could be pretty slow especially if it has to derive a  
path and parse the config file every time. Is svnperms supposed to be  
a faster mechanism for doing this?

You could have wanted to control read access. That's not possible with
svnperms...

bye,

Not sure I understand. What else would I want to do? I always got the  
sense that svnperms let you do more advanced stuff, but have never  
played around with it.

Per-directory access control.

If you only want to enfore write access, yes.

HTH,

I know nothing about the performance of per-directory access control, but I
find it hard to believe that any half-decent hardware these days would incur
any significant performance hit from the ssl for the relatively small
requests that you're describing.

my 2c.
