I beg to disagree.. here's a few examples:
1) performance is horrid with large working copies
http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1065&dsMessageId=1183455
2) svnsync is broken
http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=462&dsMessageId=2374861
3) tree-conflict performance is still a long from the equiv Perforce
functionality

4) http implementation is painfully slow and not an option for large
wc's

anything else?
