Slow performance of kdesvn

[alwin]

Have you gotten any reports on poor performance when browsing
(specifically SourceForge) from the latest SVN client? I have
experienced the issue on two platforms: Mandriva 2010 and Fedora 11.0.

I'm seeing painful delays when attempting to checkout Crypto++ at
http://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cryptopp. Crypto++ has hundreds of
files, and it really seems to stress kdesvn.  It feels like kdesvn
will fetch one item and then sleep for 1 second or so.

When I don't used kdesvn (for example, Ubuntu's SVN client), I do not
experience delays.

To duplicate, use the 1.4.1 client,
http://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cryptopp, Trunk, and finally C5. C5
is where the files are  (for the latest Crypto++).

I checked http://kdesvn.alwins-world.de/ for an update in case you
have found/fixed the issue.

Looks that qt meanwhile try getting tooltips when inserting items into view. And this always cost time on networks, on slow repositories like sourceforge it cost more time.

so design must change that tooltips will retrieved step by step in a background thread.
