First the good news. Check-out of a repository containing 200 files in
a single directory runs twice as fast with read-write entries caching.
It doesn't exhibit the gradual slowdown associated with repeatedly
parsing the entries file, although it is still repeatedly writing the
file.

Now the bad news. Memory usage is a problem. Access batons tend to
live for the duration of operations like checkout, so the caches have
to use long-lived pools and memory usage tends to increase with the
size of the working copy. Check-out of the subversion trunk uses over
100MB with APR pool debugging enabled. Now with a bit of work we can
probably reduce the rate at which it grows, but I don't immediately
see how to eliminate the growth. It's not really surprising, when I
first considered using access batons to cache entries I suggested that
it might be a problem
