Oops, sorry for that. SVK for Win32 v2.0.2 with subversion 1.4.6. Perl is
the one included in the SVK binary package. I am committing and not
pushing, i.e. to a local branch.

I presume my 5,400 rpms hard disk is a bottleneck but I noticed that
perl.exe may use 95% of the CPU for as long as the commit is being
performed... Do you reckon using another version of perl may be helpful?

Temptation is high to go into the discussion just for the pleasure to have
one or two pints of Guinness... :o)

Cheers,
