While straceing, I discovered that 'svn up' only runs stat on every
file - and reads the entries from every .svn directory. 'svn st -u' on
the other hand stats every file two to four times in a row, and also
stats much more files in the .svn directory, such as prop-bases, props
and dir-props.

I do not know if that already accounts for the 5 times more CPU time,
but it's a start.
