OK, I've been a bit more rigorous on my latest ra_serf import tests. So,
on a Fedora 14 x86_64 machine (gcc 4.5.1, APR 1.3.9) I built 1.6.16 with
serf 0.7.1, and trunk(r1078338) with serf 0.7.1.

I imported the same dataset over HTTP to another server on the LAN. This
server runs Apache 2.2.3 with mod_dav_svn 1.6.15, it is a CentOS 5.5
machine.

So, the timings:

1.6.16 (http-library=neon):
real 0m17.105s
user 0m1.133s
sys 0m1.343s

trunk (http-library=neon):
real 0m15.881s
user 0m0.968s
sys 0m1.029s

1.6.16 (http-library=serf):
real 2m46.610s
user 0m1.277s
sys 0m1.543s

trunk (http-library=serf):
real 2m45.159s
user 0m1.057s
sys 0m1.169s

Now, that is looking like a serious problem, rather different to my
previous comparison, which compared a remote ra_neon access to a local
ra_serf access.

So, as a comparison, I ran the same tests to a localhost trunk(r1078338)
server. Fedora 14 x86_64, Apache 2.2.17.

1.6.16 (http-library=neon):
real 0m21.209s
user 0m0.978s
sys 0m1.823s

trunk (http-library=neon):
real 0m20.785s
user 0m0.912s
sys 0m1.659s

1.6.16 (http-library=serf):
real 0m23.369s
user 0m0.956s
sys 0m1.953s

trunk (http-library=serf):
real 0m21.351s
user 0m0.873s
sys 0m1.639s

Cheers,

John.
