Hi All,

I have just had a chance to look at CVSNT 2.5.04.3125 and found it to be
very slow (~28 seconds for 'cvs ls') compared to ~1 second 2.5.03.2382.

1. CVSNT 2.5.04.3125 Server install running on Win 2003 Server SP2
2. CVSNT 2.5.04.3125 Server install running on Win XP Pro SP3
3. I have no virus software installed.
4. I have tried selecting the 'Don't resolve client names' checkbox with
no effect.
5. All machines in the network are synchronised with regard to time to
~+-850us using a local GPS time source. 
6. sspi and local (on the server only) protocols tried (results below).

Other commands such as 'cvs -ver' exhibit the same behaviour.

I noticed there is a bug 4914 raised on slow behaviour with sspi but
this does not seem to apply. Am I reading it incorrectly? I can only
assume I am doing something wrong as I would have expected this to have
been reported much earlier.


The following is being used at the Command Prompt on the server and the
client with the same results.
