Actually, that's not true: the revision you're showing contains
"Added" actions, but the column "Copy from" is also filled, that tells
me this revision was created efficiently. It would be interesting to
look into the Subversion database and have a look at which revision
files are big (huge?) and which ones are not. That should help you to
find out which revisions you should be looking at.

Assuming the same files have been imported over and over, you would
benefit from a feature in 1.6: rep-sharing. It's a feature which
shares storage space between files which are not ancestrally related,
yet somehow have the same content.
Which Subversion version was used to create your repository? 1.5 or earlier?
Bye,
