2 things:

1. Expected "ballpark" performance information would be very helpful in
the FAQ. Other SCM systems might not be any better on this front, but
if we had known upfront what this was going to be like we might have at
least organized our repository (and subsequently, our build scripts)
differently.

2. Is reorganizing the repository so we can be working on smaller
pieces the only answer to this problem? Is there a size of repository
that is just _not_ recommended for use with Subversion?

Thanks -

Steve
