svn co performance

I'm working on a changeover from CVS to SVN. One difference keeps
causing discussion -- the fact that checkout, even with svnserve,
takes twice as long as it does with CVS. (Never mind http, where it
takes 3 times as long... and everything else is slower than svnserve,
too.)

I'm trying to understand if there is some fundamental reason why
checkout has to be slow. It doesn't seem to be the 2x disk writes at
the client side... and the network isn't working hard, either. I'm
wondering if I should dig into this and see if it can be made better,
but before I do that, I figure I'd better ask. If this is one of
those "don't bother to try because it is fundamentally that way due to
XYZ" then I can avoid bothering...
