If you get asked for authentication multiple times but usually only for
bigger transactions, then you have to tweak the configuration. Best to
do this on the server though:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.perf

Increase the MaxKeepAliveRequests value until you don't get asked for
authentication anymore for your biggest transfers.

You can also try disabling the bulk updates on the client, but you have
to edit the 'servers' config file directly:
Settings dialog->Network->Subversion server file->Edit
then add the line
http-bulk-updates = no
in the [global] section.
