Personally I want all svn API to support 0, 1, infinite. In a GUI I use
depth=1 all the time
and find the performance problems a huge issue that I will have to work
around until the API catches up.
svn_client_ls has the problem that it only support depth=1 and
depth=infinity, where depth=0 is needed.

Windows XP PRO on a 1GHz PIII 512MB memory svn 1.1.1. Hmmm is the virus
protection a factor... I'll have to test.
I also run the same tests on Mandrake 9.2 and see how it compares.
I driving svn thru pysvn calling svn_client_proplist once/file on 54
files. vs.
pysvn calling svn_client_proplist recursive on the the dir containing
the same 54 files.

OK.
