If you're running AV switch it off you'll find the machine doubles in speed :) The AV scanning reopens every single file and reads it on each change - and CVS uses a *lot* of temporary files. If you can tell the AV to exclude the repository and temp directories (if you can't remove it) then you'll be much happier. > Not sure if the difference is cvs v.s. cvsnt or linux v.s. windows.... CVSNT/Linux is about 10-20% faster. CVS for Linux is a few % faster still but it's a much simpler beast... Tony
