I manage the CollabNet binaries. There is no particular reason our
binaries should be any faster or slower than other SVN binaries. We
are basically providing packaging and certification. We compile
Apache 2.2.x and Subversion and dependencies etc. and provide them
with a Windows installer. Before we release the packages we put them
through an internal qualification process, which is largely focused
around the packaging and installation process. There are no tweaks or
customizations being done on the binaries themselves, other than the
normal compile time options that the various products allow. We also
include ViewVC in our packaging.
I would assume that VisualSVN is largely the same (does not customize
its binaries). I know they toss in some Windows-specific tools and
configuration UI. My guess is that VisualSVN is configuring Apache
for Windows authentication or something like that. So to do a real
comparison, you would need to configure the Apache server provided in
the CollabNet distribution to do something similar. Or conversely, if
the VisualSVN server allows you to use plain Apache authentication
then you could try it that way.
