What??? Five minutes? Something is very weird indeed. If you're on
Linux, you can run svnserve under strace like this:

     strace -t -f -o svnserve.strace svnserve -d -r /usr/local/svn

and checkout like this:

     strace -t -o svn.strace svn import mv svn://localhost/mv

If you study svnserve.strace and svn.strace after it's done, you
should be able to figure out why it's waiting for five minutes.
Another way is to use a debugger. Add --enable-maintainer-mode to
configure to compile with debug info.
