From what I have seen (using 1.3.3 winXP) the 1.3.X series has this
issue. Yes, it can be frustrating that you have no concept of how long
the cleanup will take. However, I just assume that as long as the window
is open it is doing something and let it go.
Does anyone know if this has been addressed in 1.4.X ??

Subject: Cleanup progress bar never moves
With TortoiseSVN 1.3.2, Build 5840 on Win2K:
We keep our local versioned files on a network drive, which slows things
down considerably, so I don't know if this might be part of the problem.
Recently SVN told me to run a cleanup; when I did, of course I
immediately got the 'cleanup' popup (showing cleanup in progress, with a
cancel button).
But no change ever appeared in the progress bar of the popup -- it
remained blank, as though this were going to take a long, long time just
before I'd even see an estimate of how long it would take. So I
resigned myself to a lengthy wait and found other work to do, keeping
the popup visible in a corner of my screen.
About three minutes later, the popup disappeared and was replaced by a
'cleanup finished'
popup, so everything was okay. But -- several times in the past I'd
aborted the cleanup, thinking it was going to take far longer than I had
time for (ie it hadn't felt crucial on those occasions, so I simply
procrastinated). I don't know if progress is shown properly on other
platforms, perhaps, but I just wanted to point this out, as this can
easily be misinterpreted as "nothing's happening; cleanup won't work".
