Hi Lieven,

Did you ever investigate checkout's memory usage with serf? It seems
to still be a problem with serf 0.7.0, see
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3684#desc4.

I'm seeing some benefits with bumping
serf/buckets/allocator.c:STANDARD_NODE_SIZE from 128 to 256, but the
results vary...going to dump what I have found thus far into issue
#3684.
