I found that the 'annotations' I was allowing on XML elements was somehow clashing with the 'Pythonic' (delegating) 'XML merge' code. Don't ask me why, but removing it allowed a major major metadata load speed-up. Minutes back to seconds.
It isn't quite a blinding fast as Nicola once commented upon (even with cached copies of the remote metadata, so saving HTTP) but it is fast. It now allows me to run a preview before I commit, to attempt to reduce the embarrassment of mistakes. Preview now shows (1) sequences [project & module] (2) annotations (w/ error/warning) (3) command lines (for CVS|SVN & Ant|Maven|Script) [if --verbose] > python gump/preview.py -w ../gump.xml Here are some that are also listed here.
