is this because svn merge has to lock the client local working copy?

(if I read correctly, 111k files is a lot of files)

can you do some simple timings?

svn switch to a recent branch or tag
svn switch back to trunk
svn merge
svn cleanup

My guess is that they will all be about the same duration as AFAIK
they all require locking the working copy

AFAIK, "svn diff ... | patch ..." does not lock the working copy
