How do I improve Subversion client update performance? It appears to be disk bound on the client. Details: CollabNet Windows client version 1.6.2 (r37639) Windows XP SP2 3 GB RAM with PF Usage around 1 GB and System Cache of 1.1 GB. Disk has write caching enabled Update takes 7-15 minutes (when very little to update). Checkout has 36,083 directories/files (from svn list) Repository has 58,750 revisions. Checkout takes about 2.7 GB Perf monitor shows % Disk Write time stays near 90% during update. Max Disk Read Bytes/sec got up to 12.8M and write got up to 5.2M CPU, paging file usage, and network usage are all low. Watching the server performance seems to show that it isn't a bottleneck. I'm especially interested in answers besides getting a faster disk (especially configuration changes). Updates from some of the suggestions: I need the whole thing so sparse directories won't work. Another client (TortoiseSVN) takes 7 minutes also TortoiseSVN icon overlays have be configured so they don't cause the problem. Anti-virus is configured to to skip that directory is it isn't causing the problem.
