Subversion/Eclipse Performance on Windows

Here's what we have:

* Subversion is running on a Linux box under a fairly recent version
of Redhat. This is not exactly a high performance box, but I don't
think this is an issue. They use Subclipse as the plugin to allow
Eclipse to talk to Subversion.
* Our Subversion server is running release 1.5. However, it is still
using Format 2 instead of Format 3 because of issues with viewvc.
* Developers use Eclipse running on a Windows XP box. These boxes are
Pentium Dual Core running around 2.8Ghz and have betwen 1Gb and 2Gb of
memory. Diskspace is about 100Gb.
* Our application runs under JBoss. It isn't a .NET application (which
I know can cause performance issues). However, it really is a sort of
sprawling application. There are lots of JAR files that have to be
checked out (Most are probably not even needed, but that's another
story altogether). However, once you do a checkout, the JAR files
don't change.

A couple of developers are complaining about very poor performance.
They claim that Subversion is much slower than CVS (which we just
converted over from).

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for improving
performance. Would putting the .svn folders as exemptions in our
.project file help? Would using a particular version of Eclipse or a
particular version of Subclipse? What about Subversive?
