Only if you're checking out to a Commodore 64. [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp$ time svn co http://svn.perl.org/parrot/trunk parrot-trunk > /dev/null real 1m4.827s user 0m4.108s sys 0m2.852s (I did several other runs, using ssl, and it took less time, probably due to compression. I even did a checkout from 70ms of latency away from the server, and it was less as well.)
