So, it turned out to be a problem in the Subversion libs and
got fixed by r1611379. When multiple connections to the same
repo were opened concurrently (ra_serf over loopback), our file
API workarounds for Windows (retry for up to 10-ish seconds)
would interact badly with the initialization serialization code we
use for the "revprop caching" feature.
As a result, the feature initialization would fail (hurts performance
but is not a major problem) but it would also waste 10+ seconds
until it gives up. This fully explains why runtimes would fluctuate
between e.g. 21, 31 and 42 seconds.
I'm currently running a few extra tests and will post the final
results once they come in.
