Hi, I rsynced my svn repo to try to speed up git svn import. But i'm still experiencing extremly slow import speed. I had initially though the slow speed would be due to latency in svn protocol and need to download each revision fully.
However, this does not seem to be the case at all. I'm running this on a 8 core xeon 2.66ghz ( by the looks of it, it's not multithreading so, one core of that is only in use ). Starting two separate git svn clone's, almost made the machine unusuable even thou cpu usage was hardly noteworthy, and disk activity was below 400KB/s. What the heck could msysgit's svn cloning be doing that manages to pull down a 8core machine. By the looks of it, atleast 50% of cpu usage is spent as kernel time. So my only guess would be the incessent starting of perl.exe processes could be the culprit. Overhead for processes in windows is quite large. Any thoughts?
