For me, the time cost was filtering the 19GB through svndumpfilter prior
to re-loading.
And yes, there is a lot of branching and tagging history in the
repository.

Long-term, yes.
But when abnormal usage leads to rapid repository growth, it needs to be
managed.
Sometimes people tend to save more than is really necessary.
For example, continous integration build artifacts...
