Hello! I've recently picked up the subversion 1.7 beta 2 build (included in the latest TortoiseSVN beta) and did a checkout of our solution (~10,000 files, ~2,000 folders, ~180MB). With Subversion 1.6.1, it takes roughly 5 minutes, with Subversion 1.7 beta 2, it takes about 10 minutes.
Is this performance degradation inherent with the use of the centralized SVN information, and thus an intentional tradeoff for the blazing fast Commits/Updates? Naively, I'd hoped that the checkout speed would get closer to the export-speed with Subversion 1.7, since the Updates are faster, too. Interestingly, it looks like the export speed also degraded. With Subversion 1.6 it took about 90 seconds, with Subversion 1.7, it now takes 110 seconds. Regards, Michael
