It was BDB.

Well, now I upgraded to svn 1.1.3, and compiled APR for it with the
suggested /dev/urandom thing.
Now BDB-based operation seems to be somewhat faster, thugh I haven't
tested it very much, 'cause it's still taking excessively long time. It
is still clearly unacceptable (hours).
I tried the FSFS backend however, and it actually solved the problem.
Now a typical commit executed on the whole file set takes around 10
minutes (this is about the time needed to simlply walk the whole tree
and check for svn status), regardless of whether a few text files
changed or a few thousand binary files. This is definitively bearable.
thanks for the responses
