Very slow SVN performance

["Taylor, Richard" <rt...@t-tales.com>]

Hi,

Our current server set-up is SVN 1.3.1 using Apache/2.0.52 using windows
clients with svn 1.4.3. We experience very slow checkout/update times. To
check out an 9gb repository consisting of mainly large files 300-500mb in
size it takes approx 3 hours. To directly copy this data from the save
server it takes approx 12 minutes. Using Filemon it can be seen that svn is
writing the files in 1/2k chunks which would go some way to explaining the
poor checkout speed.

Is this the expected performance of svn ? Which set-up gives the better
performance Apache or svnserve ?

Thanks
Rich

its probably the filesystem on the checkout computer that cant keep up
what OS and filesystem are you checking out with / to ?
