I spent a little time instrumenting our GNU CVS server (with a shell-script wrapper in my personal bin directory to add -ttt for tracing, run cvs using strace to capture the system calls and timing, and capturing to file the input from and output to the client) and running some more tests. This still appears to be something going on on the CVSNT client side. There are regular delays when the client is sending the file to the server for operations - e.g. it will send 100-200KB and then pause for five seconds (or longer). I do not see this happen with a GNU CVS client on a Linux box or a Cygwin GNU CVS client on a different Windows XP box, performing the same operation on the same file. One data point I didn't notice before: the Microsoft dev tool whose XML data files I am working with generates long - in some cases *excessively* long - single lines of XML text. Many lines are 200-400 characters in length, a few dozen exceed 1000 characters, and five lines are from 395,445 characters to 432,809 characters in length (!) - those are apparently big blocks of base64-encoded binary data with no line breaks. Might the excessively long lines be causing problems in the CVSNT client, especially as the file is not binary? -- John Hardin KA7OHZ Senior Applications Developer, RetailCRM Development web: http://www.epicor.com voice: (425) 672-1304 fax: (425) 672-0192 email: <jhardin at epicor.com> EPICOR|CRS Retail Solutions Division 3400 188th Street SW, Suite 185 Lynnwood, WA 98037 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The first time I saw a bagpipe, I thought the player was torturing an octopus.
