I think all the responses so far including mine have missed the point
that the original poster has repeatedly said that copying an existing
working copy to the CIFS share is much faster than doing the checkout
there directly. I think that should rule out all of the differences
except the way that copy and svn handle the file creation and writing -
or perhaps some other operations that svn is doing that takes longer on
CIFS than local filesystems. Unless the anti-virus scan is somehow
bypassed in the copy operation.
