This is really disturbing. There's absolutely no reason writers
should interefere with readers. 'svnadmin load' should be no
different than a user running 'svn commit' while some other user
performs a large 'svn checkout'.

The fact that both processes are both gradually slowing to a
halt... does that mean anything? Like perhaps we're creating too many
locks?
