Are you referencing a large number of svn:external properties in
your working copy? I recently submitted a patch to address
an issue where TCP connections were not cleaned up until process
exit. This problem caused similar "lockup" behavior under
Windows. This patch did not make it into 1.6.6.
You may want to try and disable the TortoiseSVN icon cache process as
well,
since it can bog things down on large working copies. (I don't
consider 1.2G all that large though.)
