Try playing with the -c, -F and -M parameters. They should
yield result in even better performance. With sufficient memory
allotted to the server process, second runs of "svn log", for
instance, will be10x faster than the first run

Hm, I couldn't reproduce that problem so far even with large
repositories. Could you rerun your tests in debug mode?
The stack trace should be more reliable then (e.g. "data_len"
on level #3 is either bogus or the reason for the crash).

Since I don't have the same binaries and PDB files that you used,
the crash dumps will probably not tell me much more than the
text files that you posted.

Thanks for testing!
