I am using a 64-bit subversion server for SlokSVN for version control. I noticed that several applications took a very long time to perform simple actions with repositories the other day, for example, view the repository, commit, etc., And I thought that was a mistake in the applications themselves.
I tried the same actions that entered my network via VPN, but they were all very fast. The only difference was that I was connecting to the subversion server by IP address (v4), and not by host name. After several tests, I found that the problem seems to be related to IPV6.
Disabling IPV6 fixes most performance issues, but I'm not sure I want this to be a solution ...
IPV6 is apparently supported by SlikSVN - it even has the -6 option (which I tried) so that svnserve would prefer ipv6 connections, but it doesn't seem to help much in this issue. I also use the latest versions of applications that have problems (AnkhSVN is one of them) and consider that they also support IPv6.
I will be tempted to add an entry to the hosts file so that the name resolution for the SVN host is always resolved to an IPv4 address, but this is still a bit hacked.
Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem?
Thanks a lot Nick
