Poor performance over HTTP

We recently converted from CVS to SVN at our work, and I'm happy to say it
went off without a hitch.

The problem we noticed day one was with the speed of HTTP access. We need to
use http or svn+ssh to integrate with our LDAP server. svn+ssh is in place
now, but it's quite a bit tricker to use (especially with tortoise) and we
would prefer to get HTTP working as it should.

I found some tips online to tweak the apache settings, and although HTTP is
now improved, it is still slow compared to just using svn protocol. I know
you can make HTTP fast just by looking at http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/ .

I'm including the contents of my /apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf file. If
someone could let us know what we're doing wrong that would be great!
