RE: Slow response in Visual Studio .NET 2003

Hi Corey,

I have only 4 projects under my solution but of those 4 projects, 3 are just
class files and very small only half a dozen files each. The main web
project is close to 150 pages and numerous graphics as well. I have compared
the files listed under source control within the SOS client to the files in
the projects and they are the same so it all seems to function correctly
together as far as getting the files into source control. "ALL" operations
are signifigantly slower in Visual Studio. For instance when launching the
SOS GUI, it automatically retriieves the file list from the server after
login. that only takes about 20 seconds, in VS, that is also done but as it
retrieves the file list it is also opening the project and takes about 10  -
12 minutes on average. If I do a get latest recursivly on the root of the
files directory within the SOS Gui it takes on average two minutes or so to
get all the latest files. If I do a get latest on the project root within VS
it can take 20 minutes or so to complete. From within VS checking 1 or two
files out or in at a time is fast enough, but if I check in a couple of
directories it can be rather slow as well.  To provide you with all the
info, I am retrieving my files from a server in the United Kingdom, I am
located in New Hampshire, USA. - But that would not explain the speed
differences from the GUI to the IDE.

I received an email last night about the version 4 BETA, will this release
address this speed issue? I would be happy to install it and try as long as
there is not a chance of data corruption.

Thanks
Alan

  Hi Alan,

  Approximately how many projects and files make up your solution which is
  taking over 20 minutes to load?

  When comparing the IDE's performance against the SOS GUI Client, are you
  performing the operations recursively from the solution root folder?

    We are currently using SOS 3.5.3 and visual studio.NET 2003 as the IDE.
The response from within visual studio is incredibly slow when using it in
conjuction with SOS. The project can take upwards of 20 to 30 minutes to
open and retrieve the file list. If I "get latest" it can take over and hour
at times to complete. When using the standalone SOS client these functions
are signifigantly faster, only taking two to three minutes to complete. I
have searched the list archives and have seen this question asked before,
but without and answer be given.

    This speed problem is quickly rendering SOS as an unacceptable choice to
suit our needs. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to resolve
this issue as soon as possible
