I rewrote some parts of the commit processing on trunk last week, which
should have a positive effect on the use cases reported in this thread.

Is it possible for somebody to see what the performance difference on NFS
is?

I'm using Windows for most of my development and testing, so I can't measure
the impact on NFS. I do see a huge improvement on Windows: The commit
harvesting time is now in the same region as the svn status time for me.
