TFS 2015 build - Get Sources is taking too long time (5 minutes)

Question

I tested here a build with only one text file, and I got this:

It's thes same for all builds, the Get sources takes 5 minutes. Even when I set to keep the workspace.

Any idea how to speed up that or what could be the reason for that delay?

Answer 1

Might be network speed(If you build on one server and then move the files to another network share), or problem with disk on the server(busy or slow disk), or Anitvirus(blocking and checking each file that is being copied to the buildarea/network endpoint. Etc.
