By "a lot slower", we mean several order of magnitude slower. In my
own tests, I found that a commit operation which took under a minute
with CVS took perhaps 40 minutes with SVN. Marten also conducted
tests and reported that he finally aborted an SVN commit after it hit
the 1 hour mark.
Wow, that's almost impressive, if you're going for rediculous. How long ago was this? We started using SVN a year ago, and we have some large model files (several megs), and out entire 94 meg gamedata directory only takes me about five minutes to checkout. That's on a server running off my home cable modem, while I'm on my campus network which limits wireless to 60k/s. Commits of sweeping changed to takt directory have taken upwards of ten minutes, but most certainly never any more that that. So, if there is a huge slow down, I'd would most certainly like to help investigate why this is, and report it as a bug to Subversion, since it most certainly is not the typical case for a subversion repository.
