I'm sorry, I should have posted Erik's response in here as well. He
seems to think it is due to the svn_sleep_for_timestamp, and I think
that is at least part of the problem.

Reviewing update.c, I don't understand why the sleep is *inside* the
path loop. Once inside that loop it shouldn't matter if the timestamps
are the same or not (as it does not matter with a hierarchical run).
