Hmm, Seems to be worse when my working copy is on an nfs mounted drive, if my working copy is on a locally mounted drive than the performance of the 2 commands is not as different.

I disagree. Since both commands pull all the info from the working copy it is a problem if the single recursive call is slower than multiple non-recursive calls. If this is reproducible then we want to know why, however I cannot reproduce it on my machine. > From: michael_rytt...@agilent.com [mailto:michael_rytt...@agilent.com] > Sent: donderdag 1 september 2011 17:26 To: dev@subversion.apache.org > Subject: Really lousy performance with svn info --depth infinity > > Quick question.
