No argument. On the other hand, not many people run 'svn ls -R'.
'svn ls', sure. 'svn ls -R', not so much. I think you'll have a
hard time convincing us that your particular pain is common to
everyone. :-)

Of course it's possible, that's what I mean when I say "invent a
custom protocol".
Another thing you may want to investigate: enable mod_deflate in
your apache server, and make sure your svn client has "http-
compression = yes" set in your ~/.subversion/servers file. Then the
whole HTTP response will be gzipped.
