Recently, I had to move my SVN repositories to a different server, but I am experiencing some performance problems since the move.

I am using Visual Studio 2005, AnkhSVN 2.1.7819.411 and TortoiseSVN 1.6.6 on my workstation and VisualSVN Server on the server which runs Windows Server 2008.

Whenever I try to commit a file or view the file history in Visual Studio it takes twenty odd seconds.

I confirmed that an exception has been made for VisualSVN Server on the server's firewall, but when I disable the server's firewall the performance is back to normal (1-2 seconds for a commit). When I do a commit or check the log on a file in TortoiseSVN the performance is fine as well.

To ensure that the problem was not related to the moving of the repositories, I am running these tests against a new repository which was created on the new server.

So, I reckon the problem lies with AnkhSVN, but am at a loss as how to diagnose it further.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
