I re-ran the performance benchmarks using 1.6.17 and 1.7.0-beta3.

Server is running 1.7.0-beta3 and running on Solaris x86 VM with 1 GB RAM
Accessed server via https://
Server authentication via LDAP (Active Directory)
Clients configured to use Neon.
Client was Windows 7 laptop accessing server via VPN. Latency to server is
about 120ms

You can see the results in this spreadsheet:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqWkwCpe4YoidHVpMlJhR0V3QmdWSThsb2c5d1FVV3c&hl=en_US

I highlighted in green the areas where SVN 1.7 is significantly faster (most
everywhere).

There are a couple areas in red where 1.6 is significantly faster. This is
on the test where there are about 4-5K icons in a single folder.
 Checkout/commit with 1.7 are slower but other areas are faster. FWIW,
until 1.6.17 this was about 5x slower in 1.6. We backported a bugfix from
1.7 to 1.6.17 that apparently has even more impact in 1.6 than it did in
1.7.
