Hmmm, I don't see why hundreds of repositories would necessarily slow
anything down, per se. Same with several 1000 users. But until the
specific causes of your bug are known, we're all just guessing.

Hire someone who can make a reliable reproduction recipe for the bug,
and a patch to solve it. The way to fix a bug is to fix the bug :-).
(In other words, don't think of "the Subversion project" as a separate
entity from you. If you -- or your subcontractor -- create a repro
recipe and patch, then you're part of the project like anyone else.)
