Browse with the command line or WorkspaceViewer (included in CVSNT) and find out if there is a performance problem there first. If the command line is slow (eg: "cvs ls") then do a trace "cvs -ttt ls" and each step is timestamped - look for which steps are slow and e-mail the info through. > yes, it looks that way. Its hard to say from the command line since i can't get the same output as eclipse but I think its noticeably faster. > Note: things like enabling network compression, anti virus on the server and/or the client and disks and network can all vary performance greatly. > > Also see the following FAQs: > http://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/faq/faq10.asp#3c > and > http://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/faq/faq2.asp#2z > > > Regards, > > > > Arthur >
