Apologies jump in here, this is a issue that's affecting a number of our
machines too.
We are seeing simliar behaviour using TortoiseSVN 1.4.8 - all running
Windows XP SP2 32-bit on variety of hardware.
After some monitoring one thing I've noticed is that the TSVNCacheWindow
(with CacheTrayIcon=1) stops Crawling on a random folder, after which
Explorer will slow down and take 30secs to 5 minutes to unfreeze and display
the folder contents - the length of time seems related to the size of the
folder. Once unfrozen the overlay icons don't appear on the sub folders or
files.
Using Sysinternals Process Explorer, the number of threads and handles to
"\Device\NamedPipe\TSVNCache" keep going up (195 in one example), however
the Cached Directories in the Tray icon does not increase (stalled at 2710
in an example).
Is there any further useful information that can be obtained from a PC in
this state that might shine light on this bug?
It is generally reproducible on a few machines we have here, a typical
machine has a file structure of around 90k's of files.
In most cases our workaround is to switch the Icon Overlay from "Default" to
"Shell", terminating the TSVNCache will bring it back again

Haven't yet tried 1.5.2 on these particular machines or Windows SP3+updates,
but will be trying.
