I am just a user too, I was not admonishing you. It sounds like you did
things right. I do not recall your message mentioning you had already
posted on users@. If you had, I certainly would not have said anything.
The good news is that you appear to have gotten the answer you needed.

A search for "slow svnserve" might have gotten somewhere. I know to search
for APR entropy. You obviously had no way to know that was the problem, so
do not worry about it too much.

I am surprised if it is not in the FAQ by now. I just have a good memory
and can find old posts, but as a Windows user, the actual subject is out of
my comfort zone or I'd submit a patch to the FAQ.
Glad it worked.
