For something that's 500MB in size (random binary data) I'm experiencing commits taking 10x longer than a straight copy to the drive the Svn repo is on.
Both timings are on the same Ubuntu 17.04 machine, with the boot drive being the starting position of the 512MB file and a USB3 mounted 4TB seagate hard drive being the destination. My goal is to fill the 4TB drive with commits for the simple experience of that. How many places in the Apache2 --> mod_dav --> mod_dav_svn handoff does the 512MB temporarily manifest itself in a file system on the way to its ultimate destination? Is 1/10th speed the expectation? Sure, I get that 7bit/8bit shenanigans are a factor, but not that much right? - Paul
