My server is CVSNT 2.0.18 (lockserver enabled in CVSROOT/config) and the problem occurs with TortoiseCVS 1.6.x and 1.7.0 (I've changed 1.7.0 to use the CVSNT 2.0.35 binaries). For a particular file, executing "cvs editors" takes TortoiseCVS about 3s. On the commandline CVSNT takes under 1s, using the same switches. I tried disabling client name lookups on the server and restarting the services. The commandline seemed marginally more responsive but TortoiseCVS wasn't detectably faster. Certainly our reverse DNS is broken; unfortunately I don't have control over that. The other unusual 'feature' of our environment is that sandboxes are on network drives (management policy). However, performance is the same with a local sandbox. This evidence seems to suggest a TortoiseCVS problem. Can anyone suggest any further tests to help narrow it down? Aidan
