Description

plasmabal ran some performance experiments:

    - version :  0.25
    - OS      :  client: freebsd 4.8, server: freebsd 4.7
    - Recipe:  (over a LAN)

        - import mozilla-1.0 source code into svn repos  (size??)
        - svn co http://          :  takes 114 mins
        - svn co svn+ssh://       :  takes  50 mins
        - cvs co                  :  takes   3 mins

   ### comments:

       1. Holy Mostaccioli, Batman!!!

       2. curious to see how file:/// and svn:// compare in this list.


HTTP isn't our main culprit anymore.  Even svn:// is slow, which is a
stateful custom protocol.  Fingers of blame might be pointed at
libsvn_wc, or even at libsvn_fs.
