1) It is quite a large project by itself (the trunk has about 50000 files)
2) We have converted almost 15 years of history into SVN (about 30000
revisions)
3) We also have quite some binary data in the repository (documentation,
tools, images, etc)
4) A very large number of tags and branches have been used
5) A large number of quite large vendors branches are part of the repository

Not answering your question..., but can you tell us why the repository is
growing so fast?
