SVN/TortoiseSVN painfully slow

Question

I also suffered a large slowdown after upgrading to TortoiseSVN 1.7.3.

Then I discovered I had a separate install of SVN 1.6.5. I uninstalled both and reinstalled TortoiseSVN and now things are much better. First update of the day in TortoiseSVN is still slow (1-2 minutes), but fast after that.

We have face similar issue, the problem was TortoiseSvn (Version 1.9.7). For example, the repo browser took about 10 minutes to initial.

We have turned of the Show Locks feature and every thing fixed!

Right click on a folder and select Tortoise\Settings then General\Dialog 3 then deselect Show Locks

Our SVN was running painfully slow through TortoiseSVN, Eclipse and command line. Commits and exports were slow. Our Zend Framework-based PHP projects would take an age to update and popping in a small commit of about three files would take 5-10 minutes.

Our SVN virtual machine (CentOS) only had 700 MB of RAM which seemed reasonable for a Linux CLI only running Subversion via Apache and has been running fine for about one year. We've only got about 20 projects and only three developers.

I've upped it to 1.5 GB of RAM and things are running much faster now, back to our old speeds.
