commit / update seems slower as well but I don't have any numbers - I decided to test checkout since it is easier tested (just a single command). > > During the run-up to 1.7, I wrote some benchmarks that were being used to > compare overall performance of a lot of operations on a lot of different > scenarios: > > https://ctf.open.collab.net/sf/projects/csvn/ > > Something like this would be a better way to compare performance between > different versions or the impact of different tweaks on performance.

I will look into doing some commit/update benchmarks / look into csvn.
