Bottleneck 1:
the Subversion API ;)
when fetching the status, Subversion opens each file at least once,
including the files inside the hidden .svn folder.

Bottleneck 2:
the harddisk and the Windows filesystem(s).
Since each file is accessed, the harddisk is a real bottleneck, and also
the windows filesystem. Linux filesystems are much faster when accessing
many small files. NTFS is better than FAT32 though - FAT32 is just
painfully slow.
