Yes, svn:// is faster than http:// in general. How much faster is the
merge in your case?
It would also be very interesting to hear how http:// performs with
"SVNPathAuthz Off", but since that directive is broken in 1.1.0, we have
to wait until Subversion 1.1.1 is released (which will probably happen
in a week or so).
If you're using the default BDB filesystem right now, it would probably
make things faster if you switch to FSFS ("svnadmin create --fs-type
fsfs repos"), especially since you're on Windows.
