Hi folks,
I am at my wit's end on this issue. We basically are trying to
identify which are the file versions in our VSS that are deployed to
our Live environment. We wrote a tool that compares each version of
the file in VSS with the source code deployed in Live and managed to
generate a VSS labeling script for each file in the database. There
are 15,000 files.
It started out fast with ss.exe (the script is shown below) taking
just 1 second to label the first 1000. The next 1000 took 3 seconds
per file. The next batch took 10 seconds.. and I still have a long way
to go.
Can someone advise on what is happening? Thanks!

I have some more info. For some reason, I think VSS maintains a single
physical file in the Labels folder for each unique Label. As I apply
the same label to more and more files, this data file gets larger and
it takes more time to apply to same label to any more files. This
hypothesis seems to be correct as I get blazing performance if I
change the text of the label even slightly. Screwed :(
