It's not slightly slower - it's a nightmare, at least 20 seconds to list the
top-level directory in even the smallest repository.

Is it possible to reduce the number of roundtrips? # of roundtrips may be
the real problem here. I'm accessing the repository over a 4 megabits
symmetric line, so bandwith is hardly the source of the problem (not that
anyone suggested that...)

I see - thanks for the enlightment. However, list'ing a repository this way
is just too slow - it kinda ruins everything. Import, checkout, etc... all
very slow.

However, I AM using 0.24 so hopefully upgrading to 0.27 helps. I'll post
again if it doesn't ;-)

About 0.27: I'm using linux on the server and windows on the clients. Will
there be binaries for the windows client anytime soon (like an installer) ?

That said - Subversion rules!
