I've put a copy of your trunk in a local repository. On my very
ordinary desktop machine running Linux I can checkout in about 30s with
1.6 and about 50s with 1.7. That's consistent with what I have been
seeing for other datasets recently: checkout with 1.7 is slower than 1.6
when using an ordinary disk. Switching to a RAM disk for the working
copy reduces the 1.7 time to 19s making it slightly faster than 1.6
which takes 22s.
Exporting takes about 13s with both 1.6 and 1.7 and appears to be
limited by the speed of the server.
