I have a couple WCs in that size range (including the .svn
directories) and haven't seen this with 1.6.x versions of SVN & TSVN.

I'm running XP SP2, not SP3, I don't know if that might be the
difference. Laptop, 2GB RAM, 7200 RPM drive, lots of other stuff
running.

What antivirus are you using? They often treat command-line programs
(svn.exe) differently from GUI apps (TSVN and its related utilities),
which could be part of the issue.
