Howdy. This is probably a frequently-whined-question, but what the hey.
I'm sitting here doing a `cvs co -ko' of my kernel tree. It happens to have three directories in it, each of which contains about 16,000 small files. On a dual 2.7GHz power4, the cvs client has racked up an hour of CPU time so far. There's something in there which is quadratic (or worse) in the number of files in a directory. It's doing less than two files per second in those big directories. CVS 1.11.5 is fine - it doesn't have this problem at all. It'll do this tree in 2.5 minutes. CVS 1.11.17 is slow - it takes well over an hour. What happened? _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list Bug-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
