I'm not sure I can bring myself to have an opinion on the FS
configuration mechanism. On the one hand, I sympathize with Greg's
concern that svn_config should only be used when there are actual config
files; on the other hand, maybe you should be able to drop a config file
in the repository instead of passing command-line options.
Anyway, I did the grunt work. I used a simplified form of your patch,
which I'll include at the end. The "make check" time appears to drop
from 20 minutes to 18 minutes on my machine with DB_TXN_NOSYNC set. I
have a 700MHz PIII Thinkpad A22P with 384MB of memory.
Here are the results of "time make check". The first two are with the
original code, the third one with the patch. Since the first two runs
were nearly identical (no noticeable caching effects), I didn't have the
patience to run the patched code twice.
191.280u 43.930s 20:04.26 19.5% 0+0k 0+0io 1152035pf+0w
193.520u 45.320s 20:05.55 19.8% 0+0k 0+0io 1150689pf+0w
186.340u 44.550s 18:02.58 21.3% 0+0k 0+0io 1154886pf+0w
commit-tests 28 failed in all three runs, but that should only have
skewed the results slightly if at all.
