Yes! This worked, only it's the first time I've ever used gprof, and I'm
not sure I'm using it right, and I'm not sure what I should post here ...
First, I just did "svn cleanup" which completed instantly, and generated the
gmon.out file. I then tried gprof gmon.out, and it says "not in a.out
format"
So then I consulted the man page, and I think I'm supposed to give it both
the svn and gmon.out files right? So
gprof `which svn` gmon.out
And it spits out a bunch of info.
So then I repeated the above process, using one of the problem scenarios. A
commit which takes 15 minutes and should take 11 mins. (For some reason,
this time it only took 8 min.) But as I read the output, I see numbers like
"40" calls to something ... which don't sound like 8 mins worth of
processing.
So I'm not sure I did this right.
The output was:

This table describes the call tree of the program, and was sorted by
the total amount of time spent in each function and its children.
Each entry in this table consists of several lines. The line with the
index number at the left hand margin lists the current function.
The lines above it list the functions that called this function,
and the lines below it list the functions this one called.
This line lists:
index A unique number given to each element of the table.
Index numbers are sorted numerically.
The index number is printed next to every function name so
it is easier to look up where the function in the table.
% time This is the percentage of the `total' time that was spent
in this function and its children. Note that due to
different viewpoints, functions excluded by options, etc,
these numbers will NOT add up to 100%.
self This is the total amount of time spent in this function.
children This is the total amount of time propagated into this
function by its children.
called This is the number of times the function was called.
If the function called itself recursively, the number
only includes non-recursive calls, and is followed by
a `+' and the number of recursive calls.
name The name of the current function. The index number is
printed after it. If the function is a member of a
cycle, the cycle number is printed between the
function's name and the index number.
For the function's parents, the fields have the following meanings:
self This is the amount of time that was propagated directly
from the function into this parent.
children This is the amount of time that was propagated from
the function's children into this parent.
called This is the number of times this parent called the
function `/' the total number of times the function
was called. Recursive calls to the function are not
included in the number after the `/'.
name This is the name of the parent. The parent's index
number is printed after it. If the parent is a
member of a cycle, the cycle number is printed between
the name and the index number.
If the parents of the function cannot be determined, the word
`<spontaneous>' is printed in the `name' field, and all the other
fields are blank.
For the function's children, the fields have the following meanings:
self This is the amount of time that was propagated directly
from the child into the function.
children This is the amount of time that was propagated from the
child's children to the function.
called This is the number of times the function called
this child `/' the total number of times the child
was called. Recursive calls by the child are not
listed in the number after the `/'.
name This is the name of the child. The child's index
number is printed after it. If the child is a
member of a cycle, the cycle number is printed
between the name and the index number.
If there are any cycles (circles) in the call graph, there is an
entry for the cycle-as-a-whole. This entry shows who called the
cycle (as parents) and the members of the cycle (as children.)
The `+' recursive calls entry shows the number of function calls that
were internal to the cycle, and the calls entry for each member shows,
for that member, how many times it was called from other members of
the cycle.
