Martin,

Nothing you've written indicates a performance problem with the pserver
protocol.  If the admin user is using the :local: protocol that doen't
help if there is a network problem since it's direct
(non-client/server).

This FAQ explains the info that you can supply that may help diagnose
your problem:

In particular the trace will include date/time stamps for each step and
give you an indication of which specific steps are slow.

On Windows server the sserver or SSPI protocol is recommended:

Subject: [cvsnt] Performance problem with pserver protocol


Hi,

A couple of weeks ago I installed a CVSNT server (2.5.03 build 2151) on
a Win XP SP2 machine and configured it for using pserver (I had already
done this several times without any problem with older CVSNT versions).
But now we are having serious performance issues with the pserver users
as, for example, a simple project checkout can take nearly 10 minutes
(when it only takes less than 30 seconds with the CVSNT Admin user that
doesn't use pserver). The network performance is not very good and the
CVSNT server is installed in a loaded machine which is also used for
everyday work (has Eclipse, Tomcat, an antivirus, etc). I disabled
everything but the antivirus (I'm not allowed) and the problem
continues.

I looked at pserver alternatives and sspi and sserver appeared at me. It
looks like sserver is pretty similar, but may it have better
performance??? if not, whick protocol do you think can give me the best
performance???. I'm not interested in accessing the repository from
outside the local network, but it would be good for me not to tie CVS
users to NT ones.

I hope someone can give me a hint on this and help me.

Thanks in advanced,

Martin G
