Sorry, those figures are wrong (it turns out svn silently uses neon if
--config-option=servers:global:http-library=serf is given when serf is
not built in). The correct figures are:

1.6.x client, 1.6.x server, serf : 34s
trunk client, 1.6.x server, serf : 34s
1.6.x client, trunk server, serf : 34s
trunk client, trunk server, serf : 34s
  any client, any server, neon : 20s

So both serf-0.3 and serf-0.7 are slower than neon.

That problem goes away when I use a trunk client, a trunk server and the
v2 protocol. That doesn't make it any faster, it still takes 34s.
