Heh. If that's quite a lot we have bigger problems. from CVS an export
(not the working copy which is much worse) is some 17,000 files, 3,500
files and a touch over 400MB. As a working copy in CVS this is twice
the number of files, in Subversion this must be much worse with
additional book-keeping and pristine copies (I've yet to have a
cvs2svn migration complete for me to asses this on a full working
copy).
We definitely need to break up our project but currently this is the
build-test model in place. I hope that, once I have a file CVS to SVN
migration complete that I am not disappointed.

For us, the CVS update is a terrible measure. We're on the opposite
hemisphere to our CVS server over what the New Zealand communications
industry laughingly calls broadband. CVS is dog-slow, so much so that
even with the file-system performance issues of the large file/folder
counts, network IO is much much worse.
I hope subversion is better rather than worse on this large working copy.
PS: At which point does ext3 begin to suffer for having too many
revision files in the FSFS back-end? IE an update or a checkout has
to find these by name - surely even in ext3 finding the appropriate
file is a function of the number of files. I ask this because initial
smaller, more manageable cvs2svn converts suggest a full conversion
will yield upwards of 60,000+ revisions - should I be considering BDB?
