It takes 0.35 seconds with openSuse 11.0, subversion 1.5.0,
ntfs-3g 1.5012 (integrated fuse-lite with all FUSE CVS fixes),
and kernel 2.6.26, x86_64.

# time svnadmin create --fs-type bdb repos
  0.02s usr, 0.01s sys, 0.35s real, 6% CPU

I'll check subversion 1.5.2 and old kernels if they work differently.
