Ahem: Nod32 saves you from yourself and doesn't disable itself properly,
even if you ask it to. From what I've seen with that 'thing' is that it
just won't stop 'protecting' you.
I once had to completely uninstall that crap to get a connection working
properly. Admitted, it was about two years ago and I'm sure it has new
versions since then, but that was enough for me to get rid of it for good.

The 'slow' part as you describe it is the part where svn asks the
repository for the required merge info. Since that info is sent in small
data packets (usually only a few revision data for every request the
client sends), the number of bytes/s is very low. What takes most of the
time is the establishing of connections to the repository (and there are
a lot of those).

Yes, I also got a lot of files marked as modified and even three tree
conflicts. But all those files that were marked as modified had their
svn:mergeinfo property modified, not their contents.

You could also try a nightly build. Since I'm using always the latest
one from trunk, it might be that there are improvements in the svn
library which are not yet in a release (btw: 1.6.6 is planned for the
end of this week).
