Lately I’ve noticed a lot of disk I\/O activity in my Windows coming from TSVNCache.exe process which was killing my disk performance. TortoiseSVN cache process checks repository checkouts for changes and displays nice overlay icons in Windows Explorer.<\/p>\n

Instead of disabling the cache, you can optimize the paths where TSVNCache.exe looks for repositories so it only actually looks at working copies and not your whole disk(s) drive(s). <\/p>\n

If you keep all of your working copies in one location, this is a dead simple: <\/p>\n

  4. on the Include Paths<\/em> box, put all your working copies locations, again separated by newlines (eg: d:\\dev\\*).\n<\/ol>\n

    Notice the * – sign at the end of each path, this is necessary to include\/exclude subdirs.<\/p>\n
