Slow "move" discourages refactoring.

Hello!

  Seemingly simple task like moving folders tree to another location
  is very hard with svn. What takes no time on usual file systems -
  with svn is heavily dependant on the size of moved directory
  contents. And it's /really/ discourages refactoring of repository
  structure.
  As I remember it was hard under VSS too but I wonder is it an
  inherent feature of version control systems? Under what conditions
  could it be made /fast/ with current or future versions of svn? Or
  the time of "move" will always be "equivalent to a 'copy' and
  'delete'"?
