Yeah, if it had only been 2x-3x slower, I would have shrugged it off --
after all, subversion has to write each checked-out file twice, and
there's all that other stuff in the .svn/ directory to worry about.
Obviously much more work than writing CVS/{Entries,Repository,Root}.

Anyways, I'll try to do some more tests, eg. put the svn repository on
my SCSI disk, do some network tests, that sort of thing. Thanks for the
responses!
