Ok, maybe not once per packet, but still way too often.

It shouldn't be a problem, but it is. see below.

I can't test here in my office with http but only https.

* created test repo on server
* checkout wc of testrepo
* add the file db-4.4.16.zip (10'688kb)
* commit

Commit dialog shows '30.76 MBytes transferred'
Ethreal trace log saved to disk (*no* filter, but all other apps were
closed to make sure that even there is some 'noise' left in network
packets sent/received, it won't be that much to affect the results
considerably): 33427kb

So for me it seems that there's in fact a way too large data overhead,
not just a wrong number shown by TSVN.
