Same goes for the client sandboxes. I have excluded the repository and CVS temp directories from virus scanning, even though I neglected to mention that in my original message. The client checkout areas were also excluded (and were the same area for both the CVSNT and CVS checkout timings, so that wouldn't have affected the relative timings anyway). > There are other things like checking out to shared sandboxes, > having slow connections to the domain controller, shortage of memory. I'm not checking out to a shared sandbox; are you suggesting that would be faster or slower? The connection to the domain controller is very fast, and they share a switch. The CVSNT server currently has 4GB of RAM, and is exclusively serving CVSNT. > cvsnt is slower but as you say it does a lot more.. it's not two and > a half times slower though. What sort of difference would you expect, if you were to run CVSNT and CVS side-by-side on the same hardware? Thanks! --Mark Donnelly
