I agree. As I recall, using -exec causes a new rm process to
be started for each rm invoked -- much slower than with xargs.

Also, I would suggest the following:

  find . -type d -name '.svn' > foo

  take a look inside foo with your favorite editor...
  edit as necessary, JUST to be safe...

  cat foo | xargs rm -rf

It's just too easy to get burned with rm -rf.
