What method was used? It looks like http:// since you mentioned an
apache revision number.
What kind of authz are you using? Is the repository wide open for
anyone or are there permissions for each dir?
The book says the log sub-command is mostly hit by the overhead of
checking the paths for each directory. If you have that many files, I'm
thinking you have quite a nested directory structure.
This link will show you how to disable authz and explains what is going
on in more detail:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06s04.html#svn-ch-6-sect-4.4.3
Of course if you _cannot_ disable authz for your repository because you
need those features, then ...
ALSO: I'd like to know what type of file system you are using (likely
ext3). If you have time, try the repository in a Reiser file system
partition and post your benchmark times again.
Cheers,
Chris
