Howto prevent svn from storing deltas for binary files

Hi there.

I would like to take incoming deliveries of a subcompany under version
control. Most of the files are binary (c/c++ libraries).

When doing a usuability test with svn I found that a library of about 9 MB
increased the repository size by about 24-28 MB.
My conclusion is that a library as a result of a compilation might change
completely leading to a storage effort for tracing the changes that is
higher than original file itself. Second the reponse time for switching
between the versions takes to much time (about 30 seconds for a total of 13
MB and a local repository accessed by file://)

Is it possible to prevent svn from tracing the changes and simply store a
clean copy instead of a diff ?

Cheers, Thorsten
