How can I make darcs go faster?
Upgrade to darcs 2 If you upgrade both your client and your server to a version of darcs 2, darcs will be able to use the darcs transfer-mode ssh connection sharing feature to reduce the number of ssh-connections to at most 2 (this has an added bonus of not making you type your password a lot!). Moreover, since darcs 2.2, a global cache is created in ~/.darcs/cache, making get and pull commands faster. If Darcs 2 is not available on the remote site You should really convince the remote end to make Darcs 2 available because it will allow for some nice improvements such as hashed repositories.
