Sorry for the delayed reply, but I was busy ... like many others :-)

In my test scenarios around 15 times faster.

Correct.
But then I ran some stress tests (with stress.pl from the svn distro)
simultaneously to the svn pl command. There were no significant changes
in the response times. The test server was just a standard PC.
Or do you have other ideas how to stress the server?

So, back to the original topic of the thread.
A slowdown when showing additional columns in the repo browser should
only occur if you have a busy server or many entries in a directory
that you can't fetch with a single request, right?

Couldn't the single request problem be solved with the new --depth
immediates option in 1.5?
And the busy server problem if there would be a setting to limit the
additional columns to URLs (see my original post). Then users could
decide if they are willingly to accept a slowdown?

Thanks,
George
