It would be interesting to know whether the remaining 1:10 factor is
caused by the transport or by the back-end (with its server-side
deltification and FSFS transaction features). I don't know if it would
be possible for Paul to test the same setup with svn+ssh.

OTOH, that would probably not be a very good comparison, because with
svn+ssh you can't use SVNAutoVersioning and curl, you'd have to use a
normal svn client, so IIUC it's not possible to eliminate the
client-side deltification. Unless Philip or someone else knows another
trick for that :).
