I'm a bit confused whether you're saying the two are a lot different,
or not different.
Anyway, I've been doing a whole bunch of tests on a large repository
(71k files) on a local LAN, fast server, pretty fast client. (Server
is Linux, client is NetBSD.)
svnserve is consistently significantly faster. Specifically:
checkout 20:37 vs. 32:52
switch 8:55 vs. 21:32
status 3:53 vs. 5:21
update 6:30 vs. 9:01
