For comparison, I've run diff of KDevelop between KDE 3.4 and KDE 3.5. It took 13 mins and the resulting diff was 11M in size. The size of (archived) source is 9M.
In comparison, the size of Boost.Build is 1.4M (including huge generated docs, svn size is smaller), and the diff is 96K.
I misread your "svn diff" line... I thought you were diff'ing all of RC_1_34_0 against the trunk, for which 13 minutes didn't seem so horrible. But you're only diffing the build system...
Therefore, I'd suspect that if my commands takes more that 30 seconds, it's already a misconfiguration somewhere. Are you sure it's not connection limit? I remember that diff needs a 2 or 3 connections to server at the same time.
We've tweaked some things that helped performance on our end. Please try again to see how things are for you now. - Doug
