Hi Jim, thanks for posting those timings. They do seem to indicate that
there are times when lots of CPU is being used either on the client or
the server, and that at those times no network comms is happening, which
is consistent with the client or server doing binary diffs.

A problem with storing zip files is that, due to the way zip compression
works, if you change some part of a file in the zip, sometimes the
entire zip will be changed, and so Subversion will think the whole thing
has changed. Could you store something other than a zip file? For
example, if you stored each TGA file individually in a directory, only
the files that had actually changed would get checked in.
Cheers,
Mike.
