What do you mean by "just" the DevPartner profiler? I think that one is
good enough, especially since it's free ;)

That way you'll be testing the part that TSVN does, not really the whole
part which includes fetching the status. But since we don't do the
status fetching ourselves but use the Subversion lib for that, that's a
very good test!

I'm waiting for those ;)

I thought I had reduced the access to the registry with the ShellCache
class...
You can play around with the timeout settings in that class a little.
Increasing the values will reduce the access to the registry. But
increasing them too much makes settings changes not to show up immediately.

Not really ;)

Fixed in revision 1884.
