And the windows filesystem (NTFS) which is the biggest performance

Then you shouldn't report the problem here but on the Subversion mailing
list (users@subversion.tigris.org).

How could that work? I mean, Subversion does commits atomically, so it
*has* to build the list of *all* files for a commit.

I think that memory leak was fixed some time ago. You should check the
Subversion mailing list about "memory leak, commit". I'm sure you'll
find some entries describing the same problem you have.

AFAIK, it already is. But even if it isn't - it's not TSVN which
consumes the memory but the Subversion library, so if you have the same
problems with the latest TSVN/Subversion version, you should report this
on their mailing list.
