The merge/switch issues had nothing to do with JavaSVN. Basically
sometimes you would run the action and the decorators would all be
refreshed, and sometimes they were not.

We had an email exchange about this once a month or so ago. I think when
you used JavaHL there were a few items coming through as modified that
were not coming through when using JavaSVN. I assume that one of these
items was the reason that the item is not refreshed.

That would explain the performance difference at least.
