I have just run this:
svn diff http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/RC_1_34_0/boost/tools/build/v2 http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2 > RC_HEAD.diff
and it took about 13 mins. On another machine (with another network), it took 15 mins. I've asked for confirmation on IRC, and two people are at 11 and 13 mins as a write this (and still running).
Is there some network or setup issue with SVN server? Maybe the apache connection limit is set too low?
From observing the CPU usage on the server while this was going on. It seems diff is a very expensive SVN operation. The httpd processes doing the diffs ran at 100% for most of the time.
Technically, diff should be: 1. Sending path A to client. 2. Sending binary delta from path A to path B to client. Both (1) and (2) should be rather fast, and (2) is what svn does all the time -- including during update or switch from path A to path B. I would suspect misconfiguration, not a genuine lack of processing resources. - Volodya
