The main (performance) difference between svn:// and http:// access to the
repository is if there are a lot of files in the repository. It has to do
with the way svn does DAV/DeltaV (and it doesn't do it correctly), but
they have finally fixed it, and it will be in 1.3.

The whole issue is described here

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2151

Also, if you use Apache, people will still be able to get older revisions
using svn clients. But once you have Apache up and running, you can create
a working copy on the server, and then use the post-commit hook to update
it to the latest version of the tools, and then make that WC available to
your users via plain ol' HTTP, as a "web page".

Cheers,
