I moved the large archives out of subversion (unfortunately) and,
hence, I worked to completion after a very long delay.

Now, I need to checkout the data onto another box -- and the svn
client shows the same behaviour for a directory of approx. 180MB:

top reports:
  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
18690 ruf 17 0 120m 120m 2780 R 99.7 12.0 41:17.44 svn

Is there anything I can do to help -- except for giving access to the
repository/data?

wbr,
Lukas
