In olden days (like 3 weeks ago), mod_dav_svn would generate the entire
delta, and *then* spool the update response back to the client.

But in r1547, gstein made mod_dav_svn's response a streamy one, so the
client could start parsing the stream in real time.

On IRC, you're running mod_dav_svn r1605, so it's puzzling to me as to
why you're not seeing this benefit.

Unless, of course, something is really wrong with svn_repos_dir_delta(),
or the filesystem itself. Any other hypotheses out there?

We want to aid your evil plans, certainly. :-)
