Out of curiousity, Troy, what did you move to? Back to BDB?

I'm actively working on improving the scalability of FSFS (I committed
a few patches this week to cache revision data in RAM more
aggressively), though I haven't looked at merge-tracking specifically
yet. (Note also that most of these caches are most effective over
svnserve or over DAV with Apache tuned to make sure that all requests
for a given user command go to the same child.)
