Ok, I see where the problem is:
If the list of changed files per revision is really big like with an
initial import, it takes some time to fill the dialog. That's because
memory has to be allocated for the list.
But: usual commits only affect a few files, so showing the log isn't a
problem in those cases.
If you don't want to show the import revisions in the log, you can set
the amount of log messages should be fetched the first time in the
settings dialog - default is 100. Reduce that number, and you won't get
down to revision 1 from your initial import. Then, once you have some
more commits in that repository and therefore a higher HEAD revision,
you can increase that value again.

Only partly true: yes, the dialog buffers all the info it needs. But it
fetches the information in one step - the svn_client_log() function
returns everything there is, no need for an additional 'svn list'. Just
try the command 'svn log -v' and you'll get the same...

One thing you should think of: there are many, many projects out there
which are not accessible via LAN but slow internet connections. So I
will do whatever I can to reduce the number of connections made to a
repository - even if it might be better in your case.
