Subversion on Mac OSX slow

Have a question about subversion. I am using subversion on mac osx 10.6.6.
I'm not using any GUI, but rather through the Terminal (connection through svn+ssh)

My question is "why is it so slow to do update, commit etc. operations"?

I have tried the same svn setup on windows and linux (ubuntu) machines and it's lightning fast, but not on the mac.... excruciating slow!

Hope someone can help me. Thnx:)

MacBook Pro 17", Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Run Activity Monitor and see if anything shows there that may be a factor.

Run System Profiler/Logs/Console and monitor messages for anything that may shed light, etc.

Max out your ram too 🙂

Good luck

I'm quite sure almost nothing run my mac currently. I just got a new pro with OS X 10.7.2. When I commit changes using svn, the command line quickly popped out, it sends the info and "at revision 144". It seems that everything goes well. But it took it about several minutes to popped out the next "$" sign.
