We have had others over the years report problems with large binaries. The waste in CPU time is in the internal xdelta process that is done by Subversion. There is no way to turn this off that I am aware of. I would like to us someday support a custom property that you could set on a file to turn this off and have us just exchange the full content of the file and skip the delta. Or even something fancier that let you customize the size of the window used by the algorithm. I don't think the inline gzip compression adds a lot of overhead, so turning that off is not likely to be a big win. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
