And you have determined that this is not fast enough for your needs?

Using svnsync, you can create any number of read-only mirrors of your
master repository. Furthermore, you can configure those mirrors to
proxy any write requests back to the master repository so that it all
works mostly transparently.

You usually set up svnsync in the post-commit and post-revprop-change
hooks of the master repository, so that any changes are copied to the
mirrors immediately after they're made on the master. So no scheduler
needs to be set up.

You can read more about svnsync in the book:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.ref.svnsync.html

And in the svnsync notes file:

I'm not sure how svk works, so you should ask on their mailing list
if you want to pursue that option.
