Hello, and a question..

Hi Gene

I may be completely wrong here but here's my 2c.

I've experienced this as well and normally a reboot solved the issue
so you may try that. If that doesn't work then the slow down is
probably because TortoiseBzr is trying to get the up to date state of
the directories below the one you're looking at. If you don't need the
checkmarks (and it sounds like you might not need them) you can turn
those off somewhere. When you turn them off TortoiseBzr (Tbzr) won't
try to update them, thereby invalidating the whole
go-to-server-to-get-correct-version-info trip from taking place. Which
should in theory bring the speed of your machine back to normal.

I'm currently not on a machine where I have bzr / Tbzr installed so I
can't check my settings but I'm sure somebody could point you to the
right settings in Tbzr. It has to do with the icon cache (TortoiseSvn
has the TSVNCache exe for that).

I hope that helps :)

Regards

Patrick
