Tony, It seems that network speed is not the bottleneck. I've tried with a speed of 10 Mbits, 100Mbits and gigabit and it does not make a big difference. These large files are binary files and I don't understand why they require so much CPU resources. Why CVs does require so much memory to handle these files? Which amount of memory do I need to feel comfortable? Thanks for your Help Michel Leclerc Tony Hoyle (21/10/2004 15:37): >michel.leclerc at b-rail.be wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I need to store large files (more than 200 MB) into the repository. >> Checkout for theses files takes a very very long time (approx 1 hour for 270 >> MB). >> Is there a solution to this performance problem >> >You're probably running out of memory on the server.
