[Cvsnt] cvs nt performance issue

Wed Apr 24 20:49:29 BST 2002

Hi Bryan,

I experienced the lack of performance during checkouts on the server AND on
the client.  (Server is perhaps not an adequate name - it is a dedicated
machine in our network that runs only CVSNT).

As David Allens post made me curious, I took the time to give the latest
downloadable build 57c a shot yesterday and voila - it worked without major
performance problems in ntserver mode.

Checkout of our 24 Mb main module on my test machine took 3:25 min, build 27
handles the same module in 2:40,  build 57 needed more than 10 minutes.

I'm happy again and plan on putting it into production soon.

BTW,  Using build 57c, I was not able to detect any influence of the cvsnt
checkbox 'Use local users instead of domain' on the time needed for
checkout.

Have a nice day,

    Henrich.

Henrich,

I'm curious to know if your performance issue with 1.11.1.3 is the same as
what I experienced.

If I performed CVS checkout operations on the CVS server itself, performance
was extremely slow.  The same operations done over the network performed as
expected.

Hi Allen,

as we have a performance problem as well and, please let me ask  about this
part of you mail :

> We had CVS configured to use local accounts, but our developers were using
> domain passwords...

What do you mean with 'CVS configured to use local accounts' ? Do you mean a
cvsnt (Server side) setting or do you refer to a cvs option (client side) ?

I have been evaluating 1.11.1.3 (Build 57) because I want to replace our
current 1.11.1.1 (Build 27) we still use, but the performance gap between
those two was really big. (It took about three times as long to check out a
module).

We are using wincvs 1.3.4.3 beta 4 and do not want to switch to a later
wincvs version in the moment (xx MB Python required).

Thanks in advance,

    Henrich.

I am testing with the cvs.exe progam supplied with cvsnt.

cvs -version shows:

Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3  (Build 57c) (client/server)

Thanks,

Stuart Yoder

Excuse my bad english.
What version of wincvs do you use ?
1.3.8b1 is very faster than 1.3.7b1
