Re: [eclipse-dev] CVS server getting too slow

[Kim Moir <Kim_Moir@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Randy

Yes, the cvs server is slower than it
should be.  In all honesty, the server requires additional memory
and a processor upgrade.  I also have to migrate some of the http
services to another server to reduce the load on dev.   I had hoped
to conduct this maintenance in August but other priorities prevented it
from happening.   I will complete the maintenance in September.  
As eclipse continues to soar in popularity, please appreciate that the
load on our servers also increases at a remarkable rate, as does the work
required by our infrastructure team to accomodate this growth.

For infrastructure related issues, please
send an email to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx not the development mailing list.

The CVS server (dev.eclipse.org) has become slower and slower in the past
month or 2.  When synchronizing, to compare an outgoing change with
the released version takes 6 seconds.  It used to be less than half
of this.  This means the for me to review 10 class changes requires
a whole minute of network hand-shaking.  Has the load increased on
the CVS server (background syncs maybe)?  Is there any feature in
3.0 that would allow be to fetch the repository versions all-at-once instead
of one each time I click on an outgoing change.
