I don't understand the "changed files are displayed" bit; Subversion
doesn't display any files. What exactly so you mean?

If you're saying that a commit of a 290 MB file takes abour 3 minutes,
then all I can say is that 1650k/sec commit throughput is blindingly fast.

On the other hand, if you're saying that it takes Subversion about 3
minutes to figure out that a 290 MB file has changed on disk, then
that's about as expected, because it involves comparing the original
text base with the changed file if the sizes are the same. Again, 1.6
M/sec is close to the norm for filesystem throughput (actually it's
above the norm, but then a fulltext comparison will only read half the
file on average).
