Do working copies "cache" information?

If I have a good sized working copy (11k files, 200mb) checked out on
windows that has not had any svn operations performed on it for a while,
it will take 5+ minutes to perform an "svn status" or "svnversion"
However, once that 5+ minute invocation of "svn status" has completed,
if I run it again it takes < 5 seconds.

I'm assuming there is local caching on disk, am I right? How does it
work? Are there things I can do to make it faster for SVN to
create/update that cache? We've already done things like disabled
Windows file-system indexing and turned off virus checkers.

Thanks.
