The revision graph is a feature of TSVN, not Subversion. So the problem
is that the Subversion server doesn't provide the information needed for
that graph in a compact way. TSVN has to fetch _all_ log messages
including the involved paths (the same information you get if you would
show the log dialog for the repository root). Depending on how many
revisions your repository has, this can take a while to load.
Then, when TSVN has that information, it has to crawl those logs several
times to create a linked list of copied items.
On a sidenote: Subversion doesn't store the 'forward copy' information
at all, so TSVN has to reconstruct that missing information. But since
the information is really missing, the reconstruction isn't always
possible so the graph might some times miss a copy operation. Hasn't
happened yet for the repositories I tried (Subversion, TSVN, AnkSVN,
WebSVN, ...), but it could!
