I wiped out the fileattr data and did a checkout on my own system. There was no noticeable delay. The load average is around 5 right now so maybe this isn't a good test. The next time I see a bunch of cvs processes hanging I will check to see what they are waiting for to see if there is a common denominator. cgf
