log --limit not as good as it should be?

(This is running against a 1.5.0 dev build server, so the server
definitely supports the limit stuff. The same behavior is also found
running against http)

svn log -r 1:400 --limit 400 svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk

This will respond immediately and produce 400 revisions of log output

svn log -r 1:HEAD --limit 400 svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk

This will take about 3-4 minutes before starting to respond, and
produce the same 400 revisions of log output.

It looks like something is touching all the revisions that *might* be
logged before we start producing log output at all.

This is stlll true even if I use pegrevs (my first guess was that we
were trying to figure out what paths to actually log before we logged
them).

I would have expected the two commands above to take the same amount
of time, assuming there are at least <limit> revisons to log.
