It sounds sort of normal.

I recently blogged about adding this feature to Subclipse.

http://blogs.open.collab.net/svn/2008/11/subversion-revi.html

It somewhat explains why it takes so long. That said, I've tested
this a lot using the Subversion repository which has 33K revisions and
it would only take a few minutes to build the cache. I've not tested
TortoiseSVN recently but I'd be surprised if they did not build their
cache faster than we build ours. 15 minutes seems too long for only
20K revisions. So if you are being precise when you say it takes 15
minutes it seems a little long.

I suppose one difference could be that the Subversion repository does
not have any authz rules and that feature can greatly slow down the
svn log command.
