I can confirm those numbers, as we have several clients using Subclipes to manage very large projects (some of them are several gigabytes large).
Subversion's speed issue on network drives is related to its synchronous, 512 byte wise read/writes through the network. I tried a dozen things to speed this up but no luck. An interesting point though, working on a NFS mounted network drive is a lot faster !
I think I should finally report this to the subversion developer list, maybe they can do something about that small size of each read/write (only 512 bytes) ?

Lars Heineken.

Are you saying that your workspace is located on a network share? If so,
that is going to be the cause of your problems. Subversion supports this,
but the performance is generally not very good due to all of the disk I/O
Subversion performs.
