Also try turning off 8.3 filenames, if you're not using them.

Any performance problem with many files/directories in one directory
isn't necessarily Subversion but how your choice of filesystem (which,
on Windows, is limited to NTFS and....well, unless you want the total
crap that is FAT, NTFS) handles them.
IOW, Windows (NTFS) may struggle with thousands of files in a single
directory regardless of whether Subversion is in use or not. I've
witnessed this firsthand.
Organize your tree the way it best represents your project/code/system.
