You're just running your server into the ground for no reason otherwise... On average an update should take maybe a few seconds and use little memory... cruise control does a full checkout sometimes several times a minute! Make a script that keeps an updated checked out repository, and after the update fire a background task to copy this to a staging area for building (possibly periodically, depending on how often this happens). > Have you seen this problem before?

There was one other person who reported something but he was adding something like 10000 files simultaneously and I suspect simply ran out of memory. Tony
