Do we talk here about a checkout or commit? You said that TSVN uses
large amounts of memory when doing a commit, and then you try a checkout
with the CL client?

And exactly here's the problem: in the progress dialog, TSVN only calls
the Subversion API's to do the job. So all memory use you see there and
all delays come from the Subversion library.

I really doubt that. You just told above you tried it with a checkout.
And a checkout is something completely different than a commit.
You have to compare the same commands here.

If you can give me an exact recipe with which the CL client doesn't use
much memory but TSVN does, *then* I start spending hours of my time to
find the reason. But as of now, all you've told me points to the
Subversion library.
