All:

I posted this as a bug to the TortoiseCVS bugzilla, but I wasn't aware that
they just wrap the cvsNT client.

"
Operations (commit, update, diff) involving large
individual files (larger than about 800KB) experience
large delays. The operation does eventually complete
successfully.

The duration of the delay does appear to be related to
the size of the file, but I have not performed any
testing to gather hard data about the duration of the
delay.

Group operations that include one or more large files
are also delayed, but I haven't performed any testing
to see whether the delay is proportional to the total
size of the large files.

The delays appear to be occurring within Tortoise, as
logging in on the CVS server and checking process stats
shows that the "cvs server" program running there is
idle. The server system itself has also been observed
to be idle (all CPUs at 0%) for extended periods at the
time the delay was occurring.

Client: WinXP SP2, 1GB RAM, 50GB disk
  TortoiseCVS 1.8.26
  cvsNT client 2.5.03.2260
Server: Linux, CVS 1.11.2

Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.
