Now that the gcc developers have switched over to svn and

'svn -q checkout svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk gcc' appears to
take more than a order of magnitude longer under MacOSX than it
does on a PC under Fedora Core 4. What gives?
IIRC subversion makes heavy use of hardlinks, which are extremely
slow on HFS filesystems. If possible, you might see doing it over
NFS to a fast Linux box or on a local UFS partition makes it any faster.
