the property is called "svn:needs-lock". Make sure you have the property
set correctly.

Also, try setting a file as readonly. That too will change the overlay.

But as soon as you get the lock on a file, that overlay will not be
shown anymore: it indicates that you have to get a lock first. Once you
have the lock, that's not necessary anymore and therefore that overlay
is not shown anymore for that file.

And of course, that overlay has the lowest priority: if the file has a
status other than 'normal', that overlay is shown instead.

If you have other overlay handlers installed, that's also the first
overlay to get dropped:

The cache is not as agressive as before for good reasons. But you're
right it should be a little bit faster.
I'll have a look at this soon.
