Subversion recursive listing grind httpd to a halt

Hey folks,
same old story, worked before, migrated, now broken. :)

Compiled Python 2.5.4 Subversion 1.6.1 from sauce, and rpm
httpd-2.2.3-22.el5. On rhel5 VM, 2 gig ram, 2 procs. We only compiled as we
needed python 2.5 on the rhel5 box.

We can browse repository fine, we can list directories fine, but when it
comes to listing recursively the listing starts, but soon enough we get
about half a dozen httpd children all eathing the cpu, and grinding the
machine to a halt.

From svn externally:
# Completes fine
svn list --verbose https://trac.shhh.com/svn/mysvn/
# Grinds to a halt
svn list --verbose --recursive https://trac.shhh.com/svn/mysvn/

Or from Python externally:
client = pysvn.Client()
fullsvnpath = 'https://trac.shhh.com/svn/mysvn'
# Completes fine
listOfFiles = client.list(fullsvnpath, recurse=False)
# Grinds to a halt
listOfFiles = client.list(fullsvnpath, recurse=True)

[I've also tried with http, still same symptoms]

I've checked system logs, and httpd logs, and I could not spot anything out
of the norm. Just 100 or so PROPFIND per second.

I'm not entirely sure if this is a Subversion problem, a pysvn problem, or
an apache problem. I've posted here first as I can reproduce it through svn,
sorry if I'm miles off.

Any help and/or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Cheers

von
