slow status

I am trying to put a large website project into subversion-1.1.0.
fsfs is a big improvement, but there are still scalability problems.

Here is an especially obvious one.

$ date; svn status newsite.html ; date
Thu Oct 7 16:28:23 MDT 2004
Thu Oct 7 16:30:34 MDT 2004

2 minutes(!) for an svn status command on a single file.
I am using svnserve, but that doesn't matter.

An strace on the process shows that svn status is reading *every*
.svn/format and .svn/entries file in the entire project, starting at .
(the current directory), even though I only asked for the status of a
single regular file.
