There shouldn't be any difference. The difference is defiately there and it is even increasing when server load get's higher. I assume by module recursion you mean that each file in the module and it's subdirectories is accessed somehow on the server. As we assume Harddisk performance to be an issue on that server, that might or might not be causing that symptom in our case. However, we are currently working around it by doing the "checkout / update -R <tag>" sequence in a script. This has the effect that $Name:$ is not replaced by the appropiate Information (Tagname) in those cases where the tagged version is identical to HEAD. Is there a way to force that (as far as I remember keyword substitution is done on client side)? Best regards Tobias
