Just to follow up. I have a local copy of the SVN repository I test
with. Here are some timings:

$ time svn log -rHEAD:0
file:///Users/mphippard/repositories/svn-mirror > /dev/null

real 1m27.066s
user 0m3.582s
sys 0m6.431s

$ time svn log -g -rHEAD:0
file:///Users/mphippard/repositories/svn-mirror > /dev/null

real 20m10.677s
user 11m5.939s
sys 3m12.391s

It used to take about 10 minutes for the revision graph cache to
build. So the above 1+ minute command took roughly 10 times longer.
If the ratio holds, and it might not, the second command would have
taken over 3 hours to finish.
