[cvsnt] CVSNT performance question

Which latest version would that be?  Including build number.

That is not large.

> We use the pserver protocol to connect.

Not recommended, use sspi or ssh (or sserver).

> several minutes. 

Probably an eclipse problem.  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.

Note: things like enabling network compression, anti virus on the server and/or the client and disks and network can all vary performance greatly.
