[OpenAFS] OpenAFS directory update is SLOW. Performance tuning?

[Noel Burton-Krahn]

Hi,

So, I've got AFS set up serving from my Linux box to my WinXP client.
Great.  I moved my home directory to AFS.  Then I did a "cvs update" in one
of my project directories now under AFS.  S-L-O-W!  AFS was about 12x sloser
than a "cvs update" on a local disk.  Is there some way to improve that?

It took 1.5 minutes to update on AFS, 7 seconds off local disk.  The
directory I did my "cvs update" in has 13022 files and 1220 directories.  My
AFS client was configured with Cache Size: 200000, Chunk Size: 32kb, Status
Cache: 10000 entries.

That kind of slowdown is just too much.  This might be the end of AFS for
us.  Is there any way to improve that?
