You should really look at what programs are monitoring your disk.
E.g.:
* Is a virusscanner reading every file that is read and written. And
especially if it locks the file when it is scanning. (I would recommend just
scanning on write in your workingcopies)
* Is TortoiseSVN's status cache monitoring this directory? (If it detects a
change it scans for status updates.. slowing down other clients by using
your harddisk when you need it yourself).
Just performing a 'svn update' that doesn't touch much files shouldn't take
more than a few seconds on that number of files/folders.
An average of 2 files per folder is not high... Subversion 1.0-1.6 performs
better with a bit more files/folder.. The new workingcopy format that is
expected in 1.7 should resolve these differences and should be /a lot/
faster for this low file-directory ratio.
