Ah, they're brilliant! Just what I was looking for :D I'm yet to
interpret the output and interpret it to opimize svnrdump though-
might need some more help there; are you available on #svn-dev or
something sometime? Will keep you updated on this either way.

Interesting. I didn't know Visual Studio had a profiler. Then again,
I've not used Windows for several years now.

Ah, I want to know how to interpret this correctly. For equivalent
operations
svnrdump says: 7.49s user 1.34s system 91% cpu 9.682 total
svnadmin says: 4.84s user 0.44s system 97% cpu 5.417 total

I see.

A ton! Thanks a lot :)
