title: How to efficiently work with a task stream?
body: <p><strong>Disclaimer: I let the question open, but my slow branching issue was due to the server being overloaded. So this is not the usual Perforce behavior. I now take about 30 seconds to branch 10K files.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am a new Perforce 2014 user. I have created a stream depot, and put the legacy application (about 10,000 cpp files) in a development branch. That was relatively quick for an initial import, about 1 hour to upload everything.</p>
  
  <p>Now I want to create a 'lightweight' task stream to work on a new feature.
  I use the default menu > new stream > type task ... I select "Branch file from parent on stream creation"</p>
  
  <p>To my surprise, it takes ages (about 1 hour) to create a new task because it is branching individually every file. I would expect the process to be almost instant coming from other SCM tools. (git, svn,...)</p>
  
  <p>Now my question is :</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>is this the expected behavior ?</li>
  <li>Alternatively, is there a way to create more quickly a Task, and only branch the file I intend to modify ?</li>
  </ul>
