Our CVS repository was 91M. Our SVN repository is 117M. 99.9% of files
are plain text source code.
After my first test conversion (which was a full conversion), I did a
--trunk-only convert which ran much more quickly and resulted in much
faster checkouts. I did not bother to investigate why or how much
additional disk space the full conversion respository took.
Our work patterns result in many tags (several per week over several
years) which we did not need to preserve in the new repository.

Our checkouts now on Windows are slower than CVS (2m 50s svn vs. 1m 10s
cvs) but subsequent operations run reasonably fast. I notice no
performance issues whatsoever as a linux client.
Our server is running on a Linux system.
