Well, it is a local hard drive, an external 500 GB drive. I didn't
have a look at the file system; it was FAT32. The limitations mean
that you can only have around 30.000 entries in one subdirectory. As I
don't understand svn I can't tell if this is the case here, but anyway
I converted the drive to NTFS and resumed the process.

Big surprise: Whereas every entry took about one second with FAT32
during import, the whole process was very fast now, just like check
out which writes back to a NTFS-drive. Both import and check out went
fine this time, totaling nearly 55.000 files and 2.9 GB.

Thanks a lot for the hint!

Werner
