Context Menu Slowness
Eric Lathrop
Any of these things make the menu fast again:
1. Uninstall TortoiseSVN
2. Disconnect from all networks
3. Use ShellExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) to
disable the TortoiseSVN context menu shell extension.
Based on #2, I opened up Wireshark, and saw that every time I
right-click on a file in windows explorer it generates a series of
netbios name queries for a machine named "GUILTY" (see attachment). That
is not a machine I've ever connected to, and definitely not our SVN
server. After a few failed name lookups the menu pops up.
Is this a bug? Is there any way to prevent this lookup? The right-click
menu slowness is really frustrating.
Thanks,

Do you right-click on a file/folder on a network share or a local drive?
If local drive, then TSVN does *not* query the network - if it does then
another extension is interfering here.

It happens on local folders (C:).
I used ShellExView to disable all shell extensions extensions except for
TortoiseSVN and shell32.dll and the problem still occurs. As soon as I
disable TortoiseStub.dll the menu pops up instantly.
I found a workaround where I can just add the host "GUILTY" to my hosts
file as 127.0.0.1, and the menu is back to normal.
Not sure what is going on.
Thanks for your help,

The name "GUILTY" indicates to me that there's a virus scanner involved.

Or maybe a virus, let us not exclude that.

As expected, several netbios name queries were found searching for a machine name but timed out. Then I remembered I had changed my computer name without restarting, so the tortoise svn is looking for that new name! So I did a reboot and things all went back to normal.
Hope this experience helps.
