Well, given that the detailed results for Windows are in now
as well, the key bits are
* from hot SVN caches, there is no difference between f6 and f7
* from hot OS caches, it's a mixed bag and depends on various factors
* reading from disk, f7 is faster for packed repos even with default configs
* "block-read" doubles the relative speedup but requires larger caches
