CVS updates occur alphabetically. I have been seeing long delays
between updating "gcc", especially testsuite subdirectory, and
"libstdc++-v3". Intevening directories are not modified frequently, so it
is hard to determine where the time is being spent without non-quiet mode
or "-t" option.
I had assumed the delay was the size of testsuite or libjava.
Manually updating those directories in non-quiet mode last night (and
gcc.gnu.org showing a load of 70), demonstrated that those large
directories are updated very rapidly. Therefore, I believe that the long
delays were due to some CVS meta-data problem or disk problem which has
been lingering over the past few weeks.
I do not have enough access to the system or historical
information to justify my hypothesis, but I thought my personal
observations might be helpful.
David
