I run Linux on considerably less powerful hardware than your machine,
and running 'svn st' in a directory with 330 versioned files and 700
unversioned files takes less than a second. I find it hard to believe
that the OS is responsible for the huge difference, and since 'svn st'
doesn't access the repository at all, I suspect the problem is
something to do wth your particular working copy.

Unless you do some profiling or measuring it may prove difficult to
identify the problem. Taking a wild guess, is it possible that
something has changed the last-modified timestamps of the versioned
files? Do the last-modified times of the versioned files match the
text-time values stored in the .svn/entries file?
