Should FishEye reside on the same server as the repositories?

[CodeForCoffee]

I'm doing my initial setup up of Fisheye. With some pains regarding ssh. Now my question is. Are there performance gains or security advantages to having FishEye and svn / git repo's residing on the same server.

Hi CodeForCoffee,

There may be some performance gains for accessing SVN repositories hosted locally through the file:// protocol. For git/hg, as Fisheye maintains a clone of the repository anyway, any performance gains will be negligible.

If the repositories are accessible remotely anyway there will be no security benefits.

Kind Regards,
