Description
SVNKit is very slow when listing all properties on repository.
For repository generated by gen-large-svn.py
(1 mln paths)
$ time svn proplist -R -r 1001 file:///home/czawadka/repos/large-svn/large-svn@1001 real 0m23.147s user 0m18.781s sys 0m4.275s $ time jsvn proplist -R -r 1001 file:///home/czawadka/repos/large-svn/large-svn@1001 real 61m52.926s user 59m14.678s sys 3m6.295s
That means SVNKit (jsvn) is 400x slower then the native (svn) implementation.
SVNKit is aware of that fact as it prepared FAQ how to deal with slow proplist - https://web.archive.org/web/20140923170354/http://wiki.svnkit.com/SVNKit_FAQ#Q:_Recursive_repository_properties_fetch.2BAFw-list_operation_is_slow._Is_it_possible_to_make_it_work_faster.3F
Workaround
To overcome the issue Native Subversion Client should be configured in Fisheye/Crucible.
