I guess the speed of your hard disk is the issue.

Commit and status both check if the files on the local hard drive have
changed since the last update. They do this by comparing the originals
in the .svn dirs to the files you are working on. When you have a lot of
large files, that can take quite a long time (100 MB times 100 files are
10 GB that have to be read, twice!)

I hope this points you in the right direction...

Cheers,

Ulli
