VS2008 Prof doesn't come with a profiler. And I don't have the Team
System edition.
Also, I don't think it would help much: I can't build and profile with
VC6 (I don't have VC6) to compare.

I'm using apr 1.2.12 and neon 0.28.2, so that's the same.

I can't see any difference when using file:///, and I don't have an
svn:// repo available to test there.

The strange thing is: other commands are not slower (checkout, update,
commit), at least not much slower to really notice. So what is different
in a merge (network wise)?

Just ran the tests on XP (instead of Vista, where I did my tests
before): it's the same there too.
