SVN commit is very slow

1

I have tried a lot of fixes for this problem, and it is driving

me nuts. So here goes, I hope someone can please help!

  • I am using SVN to upload a 500MB file and it is using only 17% of my upload speed, making commits very slow (2.5 Mbits/sec, or about 450 kbtes/sec).
  • When I use WinSCP it uploads at 20 Mbits/sec to the SAME HOST.
  • When I use a second PC connected to the SAME ROUTER in the same office, it SVN commits to the SAME HOST at 20Mbits/sec (about 2,500 kbtes/sec).
  • All of my colleagues in their remote homes can SVN commit at a speed that matches their WinSCP connection speed.
  • Disabling windows firewall and F-secure make no difference
  • Changing the cable makes no difference
  • Reinstalling the network card driver makes no difference

Demo showing the different upload speeds WinSCP vs SVN

Tortoise SVN version:

TortoiseSVN 1.11.1, Build 28492 - 64 Bit , 2019/01/08 21:40:39
ipv6 enabled
Subversion 1.11.1, -release apr 1.6.5 apr-util 1.6.1
serf 1.3.9 OpenSSL 1.1.0j  20 Nov 2018
zlib 1.2.11 SQLite 3.23.1

ISP Broadband speed (tested): 380Mbits/sec DL and 20Mbits/sec upload speed.

Router connection: brand new cat 6 cable, works fine on second PC

Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 GAMING (MS-7821) (SOCKET 0)

Network card: Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet controller There seems to be an issue here, in that the Network card

reports IPv6 is not functioning? Network card properties

Questions:

  1. What can I do to diagnose the faulty commit speed?
  2. Any suggested fixes?

Thank you!

the router does not support ipv6, and the working PC with perfect upload speed also has the same ethernet settings as the PC with the problem. – Rob – 2019-04-01T13:17:00.287

I have now replaced the router / cable / network card. Still got the speed throttle. I am now looking closely at a windows re-install, or even an upgrade to windows 10 (from win 7 64 bit pro). and after that, perhaps a new motherboard... – Rob – 2019-04-02T11:15:51.780

SOLVED

Last Windows 7 update (approx March 12 2019) broke SVN upload speed for windows 7 64bit pro. My laptop also had thesame problem. Upgrading to Windows 10 fixed it instantly.
