Hi Steve,

I fully appreciate the agony you must be going through. I am sure that if
there is anyone that can find this, it will be you. I may miss the
experience to be of help to you, but I do have some suggestions (see below).
Of course you probably already thought about these, but I mention them just
in case.

Are the network packets distributed in the same way across the timespan? Or
are there specific extra pauses when using your own command line client?

How does the TSVN Gui perform this merge? Is it also 5 min 17, or is it much
slower than that? --> If it's the same then the issue most likely lies in
the SVN libraries.

IIRC in the past TSVN (or the SVN linbraries, I can't remember) has had some
issues with DLLs being loaded and unloaded frequently. Could that be the
cause of the extra delays?
