Put simple, a GET on a directory (which is what your IE use is doing)
that just spews HTML around directory entries is just faster than a
PROPFIND on that directory, which has to package up a bunch of stuff
(like properties) that your web browser doesn't need, but that the
Subversion client does, and marshal all that back to the client.
