NFS performance is going to be your real killer. Subversion is usually
more I/O intensive than CPU intensive. Using multiple svnserve
processes on different machines on the same repo is probably not
recommended. (We use apache, so I can't comment directly on svnserve)

100-200 commits per second seems quite high. We normally do not
go above 10-20 per second with our 2000 users...
