Is it normal that Hudson takes an awful lot of time before he notices a new SVN revision?

Question

I just recently started using Hudson as a CI server for a project of mine. I've set up a "job" with a SVN-repository. The server runs on my local machine and the SVN repository is hosted at http://www.unfuddle.com.

The problem is that when I commit the code from my local machine and then manually trigger a build in Hudson that it takes several minutes before the new revision is detected. So the first build after a commit is always a build without using the new revision.

Is this normal? Is there any setting to prevent this behaviour?

Thanks in advance and best regards!

I suppose when you trigger the build it performs an update and logs a messegs like "At revision xxx" but without any changes

I have seen this effect when the Subversion server's and the Hudson server's clock were out of sync. Hudson actually logs this as a warning during the build if it is the case. I don't know why, but when the clock is out of sync, the update performs strangely.
