What do you expect here? I mean your working copy is on a server
share. That simply _can't_ be fast!
To gather the status of your working copy, Subversion has to access
every file in your working copy, including several files inside the
hidden .svn folders. And usually, when accessing files over a network
share, there's a big, big overhead for each accessed file called
authentication.

Sure!

That's completely normal.

Why do you use the command line client for that? Right-click on the
folder, select "Properties" from the explorer context menu and then go
to the Subversion tab in the file dialog. There you can set the
properties.

Depends on what you want to do. But the svn:ignore properties only
affect the immediate children of the folder you set them on.
