Comment 12 for bug 405251

I pulled two tiny commits from the main repo in the repository I created for the test above. I could not see how much data it transferred but it took a very long time; the changes to both workspace and repo were tiny: some very small files added and some changes. I am also very sure that this did not contain lots of "history", so no hidden huge files added and deleted in between. What is remarkable in this log is the huge amount of "xxxx byte part read" messages (39900 lines!!) taking a long time in all; if every message here also means a full round trip to the server this at least explains the bad performance here (end-to-end ack delay).
What is also strange is that it starts doing that after 113 seconds; what is it doing before that!?
