Eclipse repository browser behave wrongly. It performs a "cvs ls -R" at startup, ie, a recursive listing of all the files in the repository. For a small one, with tens to hundreds of files, no problem. But for lots of files, it can effectively put down your server. As you see, it's not CVSNT's fault. One solution would be splitting your unique repository in several ones. So, the impact of a recursive listing should be reduced. Capaverde
