Hi, this topic was raised several times in the past - the answers range from "will be better/solved in the next version 1.7" or "it is due to ntfs vs ext3/4" or it's the AV, network setup or the Windows file indexing service. After disabling all those and running a test checkout on Linux and Windows on the same machine I still get a result of Linux being 7.3x times faster. Any ideas why?
Versions: * 1.8.8 on Linux * 1.8.6.254 command line from tortoise * 1.7.16 svnserve linux Note: Upgrading the server might be an option but I guess that is not the root cause of the problem here? The repository: * Checkout size: 8.9 GB (without .svn folder 4.9 GB) * 410 Folders * 23,706 files Commands used to test: * Linux: $ time svn co svn://10.0.0.1/test > /dev/null * Windows: PS Measure-Command { svn co svn://10.0.0.1/test > $null } Results (tests run twice, better result taken): * Linux on ext4 (journaling enabled): 1m 16s * Linux on NTFS*: 3m 29s * Windows 7 on NTFS*: 9m 19s [*] Same partition Client Machine -------------- * Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 V2 @ 3.30GHz * checkout to HDD not SSD * 1 GBit LAN to server * Linux, Fedora 20 64 bit * Windows 7, 64 bit * AV deactivated * IPv6 deactivated * Windows file indexing service deactivated * Windows auto updates deactivated Server Setup ---------------- $ svnserve -d --memory-cache-size 2048 -r /srv/svn_repos/ --cache-txdeltas yes --cache-fulltexts yes -c 0 Thanks for any pointers, Florian
