Those caches are active in FSFS per default although with
very conservative sizes, i.e.they are small. The caches are
much less effective in pre-fork servers (svnserve without
the -T parameter, Apache on most Unices).

I plan to make these settings available for mod_dav_svn as
well. Windows servers should benefit the most from the new
caches. However, you would need 64 bit builds of Apache
and mod_dav_svn to handle large (>1GB) caches.

My idea is to provide a second caching level that is almost
identical to the current membuffer cache but uses a memory
mapped file to store the data. Thus, it can be shared among
multiple processes (e.g. pre-fork servers) and it allows for
moderate size (~16GB) caches under 32 bit.
