Below are some notes I made while doing my own svn vs http tests some
time ago.

Server: Xeon 3ghz, 1GB ram, Win2003. Subversion 1.1/1.2(.x?)
Client: P4 2.4ghz, 512MB ram, Win2003. Subversion 1.1/1.2(.x?)
Repository: 3300 revisions, 160MB, 7,500 files, 500 dirs (exported)

The numbers are taken from tests I ran just to give me a ball-park idea.
 They were not run in a controlled, scientific way.

I was mainly interested in log, ls and checkout. Commit wasn't tested.

General notes:

- when browsing in the tortoise repo browser svn has snappy
performance, http is at least half the speed and slow enough to be annoying
- apache ls and log over http are *very* slow, this is a know issue
(#2151) with no immediate fix in view (1.4)
        (http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2151)
- svn ls -R (from /, including all branches and tags)
  svn:// takes 12 minutes.
  http:// takes 92 minutes, local svn.exe client uses huge amount of
memory (250MB!), server side Apache using ~10% cpu. Output log is 19MB
        

Test Results:
(values are in seconds)

-noav means server-side antivirus was turned off
-fsfs means fsfs database, otherwise bdb
-1.2 means svn 1.2, otherwise 1.1 was used (client & server)
