I was digging through the mailing list archives in an attempt to find
where I had given some actual numbers for this process but I guess I
never sent those to the list. I had a 1 GB RCS repository which ended
up with just over 60000 commits and had a pretty large number of files
and a fairly complicated directory structure. My conversion times
were in the neighborhood of 15 hours.
I don't know if you have thought about it too much, but with a large
working copy with potentially a lot of revisions you might take a look
at some of my experiences:
Bascially checkout times with the FSFS on the backend was way to slow
and I had to go with BDB.
