Why is subversion so slow?

Hi,

We have changed our repos (cvs-directory was about 20mb) from cvs to svn a few
days ago.

Subversion is much slower than cvs.

Checkout of 1800kb-Project (370 files)

svn: 2m6.457s
cvs: 0m2.872s

Server is a P3/800MHz with 600MB RAM. Client P3/1.2GHz 512MB RAM. Connected
with switched 100MB-LAN.

We use subversion 0.20.1 / mod_dav_svn / apache-2.0.45.

I searched for some tips in the mailing-list-archive but couldn't find
anything about speed.

The slow commands are: checkout, commit, update.

What could be the problem?
Please excuse the bad english.

Thanks for your help.
