Now, do the same test again. But this time, don't do an
svn log
but an
svn log -v

because that's what TSVN is doing.

I think the only way to speed up the log dialog is to not fetch the
extended log but only the basic log. But that means the extended log
needs to be fetched whenever the user clicks on a revision in the log
dialog. Since that can get a little bit annoying because it slows down
browsing, that would require an option in the settings dialog.
