The very first checkout was interrupted by accident. Hence, I run
    svn cleanup
as recommended by svn and then I have been trying to run
    svn update
to avoid additional data fetching.

Usually, I retried in the evening by putting
    nohup svn update >& update.log
in the background.

Whenever I checked 'top' I always saw an entry as the one posted
initially. Usually, in the morning, svn disappeared without any
further notice. The update.log file, however, has not reached its
end.

The repository contains some large archives (~500MB). Could this
create problems?

The repository is mounted via NFS (server Solaris 2.8) and accessed
only by one client (Debian unstable, Linux 2.6.5) via https only.

wbr,
Lukas
