Never heard that before. Granted, it could conceivably improve
performance, but our Subversion repository server also serves MySQL,
Apache, PHP, Postfix, Cyrus, Samba, and probably more that I'm
forgetting. Where's the official statement that a repository server
shouldn't do anything else?

I think you shouldn't have to run svn cleanup ever. It's only ever
useful if Subversion tells you to run it, and the only reason it
would tell you that is if something is broken, as in you were using
svn and it crashed or encountered an unexpected error and left the
working copy in an inconsistent state. So why is Alex running into
the need to run svn cleanup so often? That's the problem we should be
fixing.
