I've got the speedups planned out myself, mainly derived from some |
| 19 |
profiling of CVS and reading the source. I've got 12 users (11 devs + |
| 20 |
gmirror) on the speedups presently, but we need the RAM to scale it up |
| 21 |
for more devs. My times for a full cvs update/checkout have dropped from |
| 22 |
~15mins to less than 5 minutes (I've seen times below 3 minutes on |
| 23 |
occasion). This will work for everybody provided that your machine isn't |
| 24 |
the slow part of the chain. And if you do still find your CVS up/co |
| 25 |
unbearably slow within reason, give me a shout and I'll try to help you |
| 26 |
speed it up. |

The Sourceforge CVS was slow with a related but different problem to our |
| 29 |
CVS. We have a single massive CVS tree (raw size is 1GB+), whereas they |
| 30 |
have a LOT of small CVS trees. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'll probably write up a mini-HOWTO document on speeding up large CVS |
| 33 |
trees once I'm done. |
