That's an interesting definition of "slow". :-)

Every time you run 'svnlook', you get:

   1. overhead in launching a new process
   2. overhead in opening the database
   3. overhead in closing the database

Now multiply those things by seven.

If you want to make a bunch of repository queries, Ii would be far more
efficient to use the libsvn_fs API... either in C, perl, or python.
(There are no PHP bindings yet.) That way you avoid problem #1
altogether, and you only have to open/close the database exactly once,
not 7 times.
