I created a folder with 5001 files in it ... maybe that is not enough? I just used small simple text files as I was only checking for the general problem in managing the temp files and the WC metadata. Upon checkout (using 1.6.15 command line client) I did not notice any slowdown. Windows checked out via HTTP across internet in about 49 seconds as opposed to 33 from my Mac (which is a faster system). The main thing is checkout did not seem to slow down. The bad news is that I tried it again with trunk. Both Windows and Mac were much slower and I was doing the tests because I thought it would be much faster. Windows time went up to 210 secs and OSX to about 90 seconds. In all cases, the performance seemed linear. I did not see it start to get slower. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
