[cvsnt] performence problem

[Stéphane Nicoll]

Hello,

I am still *very* confused. I made more tests today, please comment if you have ideas.

At the same time, I am doing the following operations:

1/ Checkout of the entire repository on the server itself using a CVSROOT like that :pserver:sni at localhost:/ourRepo
2/ Update of the repository on my local box using command cvs update -dP

% Idle time of both disks (repository and CVSNT temp session) is almost 80%

Result:

1/ Checkout is *very slow* (WTF, idle time is high, what could be the problem? Not network, I am using localhost)
2/ I had to wait almost 5mins before seing anything printed on my console

Any idea?

Best regards,
Stéphane

John,

We stopped the service, we're using McAffe. When it was enabled, both disks idle time was good (checkout very slow). When we stopped it, the disk idle time containing CVSNT temp sessions drops to 0! (checkout still slow)

I'll do that and I'll let you know. 

Thanks,
