Yeah. This happen after etcinsvk was initialized for the first time, and after a bunch of packages was added. This create a lot of new files in /etc/, and it is the process of adding/commiting these files that is very slow. The slow program is svk. I suspect it should be possible to recreate the slowness outside etcinsvk, but have not tried. > could parts of /etc be handled incrementally (i.e. subdirs of /etc) > to speed it up a bit?

I've found <URL:http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/svk-devel/2007-December/001130.html> about a slow svk, and hints on how to profile svk. <URL:http://osdir.com/ml/version-control.svk.devel/2007-10/msg00046.html> also talk about svk being slow with large edits.
