High CPU caused by TortoiseSVN process TSVNCache.exe

Problem:

The TortoiseSVN process "TSVNCache.exe" constantly occupies the CPU.

Solution:

This is because TortoiseSVN is scanning your entire file system to update its internal cache.

This can be simply fixed by doing the following:

1. Right-click on any folder, and navigate to TortoiseSVN --> Settings --> Icon Overlays

2. Under "Exclude paths", set it to c:\*

3. Under "Include paths", include all folders in which your SVN code exists

Applicable Versions:

• TortoiseSVN 1.6.6
