[Subversion] Slow checkouts...

Howdy Subversion Users,

We're currently evaluating Subversion at my workplace and we're finding that
checkouts are considerably slower when compared to CVS.

Here are some details:
  - Server OS : Red Hat Linux ES 4
  - Subversion version : 1.1.4
  - SVN Server : svnserve
  - Protocol : svn+ssh
  - Tunnel : plink
  - Client OS : Windows XP Pro, SP 2
  - SVN Client : Subversive Eclipse plugin

Can anyone point me to any information I can use to debug this apparent
performance bottleneck? Will upgrading to 1.4.2 solve this problem? What
other things can I try, look into, etc, before I upgrade (it's already been
planned)?

Thanks, in advance, for all the help.
