Okay, I handwaved a bit too much. Maybe we should just take the Linux+NTFS numbers with a grain of salt then, and mainly focus on Linux+ext4 vs. Windows+NTFS. The fact remains that there are two variables changing. But maybe it's not a big issue for this comparison, and it's almost unavoidable. > >> Another interesting data point might be: what does the client-side >> option exclusive-locking [1] (available as of 1.8) do to the test >> results?

Interesting (especially that it changes nothing for Linux+ext4 --- that might suggest that this combination has far more agressive disk caching so it doesn't have to sync often with the underlying harddisk even with exclusive-locking=false ... or something like that). OK, so the factor (Windows NTFS vs. Linux ext4) then becomes around 5.5. > It is still slow and further improvements > would be welcome. I agree. Unfortunately I don't have the expertise nor the time to dive into this myself. I hope one of the other developers can take a further look. -- Johan >> Also: it would be good to know the exact versions of sqlite and other >> libraries that your svn (client) versions were built with.
