The repository is perfectly happy with data sets far larger than
that. The issue is with large working copies. Crawling a
working copy is very expensive.

We have working copies of 70,000 files, and it "only" takes 10 -
15 minutes to crawl them. Maybe the difference is accounted for
by different operating systems (Linux, NetBSD, and FreeBSD here).

Don't let svn crawl your working copy; tell it what to commit
('svn commit foo/bar/baz.c' vs. 'svn commit').
