You have a "--deltas" dump which svndumpfilter does not support, however
a non-deltas dump would be *significantly* larger.

You might try keeping the dumpfile and the new repo on different
physical disks. 45GB shouldn't take 15 days. I've loaded 300GB+ dump
files in under a day on 3 year old low end server hardware...
