Thanks for the tip, but SVNPathAuthz is Off in this setup.

We also tried with file:// and svn://, but that didn't make much difference (maybe half a minute, so down from 4' to 3'30").

I think big performance differences in the past between svn:// (of file://) and http:// may have been due to SVNPathAuthz. Or maybe quality/speed of the network connection (which is not an issue in our case, it's all on a LAN).

No, I'm really sure that it's purely server-side IO bound.
Also, when running the exact same log command a second time, it's much faster (down to 1'30). That's probably because the server has got the necessary files in disk cache. However, that's no real help, because in a real world scenario people ask logs of different files all the time...
