Basic is apache doing the authentication for a URL location, not
subversion. In effect it is the same as .htaccess files you mention.
Authz is more advanced authentication based on directories within
subversion and is usually a module for apache. The documentation on
authz can be found here:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06s04.html#svn-ch-6-sect-4.4.2
So you don't have this in your config:
# our access control policy
AuthzSVNAccessFile /path/to/access/file
You could safely disable the path checks in your setup. But leave a big
comment in case you ever do start to use Authz ACL's.

There was talk on list about file systems affecting performance for FSFS
repositories.
You'd only really see a difference under heavy loads and large
repositories IMHO - which you may have and therefore could give good
benchmarks.
$ time svn {co,up,blame,log}
Actually I'm not sure if there is a standard tool set for SVN benchmarks
or if it is mostly adhoc timings as suggested above.
The thread about file systems is found here:
