Could I assume that > there's no data compression between server and client? Subversion compresses the data it sends over the wire. Using mod_deflate can get you a little extra compression on the entire HTTP request. However, there is a huge memory leak when mod_deflate and Subversion are used together and a client that does not support deflate is used to access the repository. So it is best to stay away from using mod_deflate and the benefits are relatively small since Subversion already uses compression. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
