Re: export, checkout, commit performance

This may be unrelated, but it seems to me that subversion 1.3.0 has
regressed speed-wise (maybe just on Linux, not sure on Windows).

I have a 2 GB working copy that I normally do "svn status", "svn diff",
"svn update", "svn commit", etc. It has a lot of big image files in it as
well as about 200K or more of source code. Up until 1.3.0 I could do
those commands in seconds. Since 1.3.0 it sometimes takes me 30 minutes
or an hour to do some of those operations, but not always, just enough of
the time to make it feel painful. I was doing a commit the other night
that just changed several lines in a file and it took it OVER AN HOUR to
commit. Normally it just takes 5 - 10 seconds.

Not quantifiable evidence, I know, but it sure seems slower.
