If you use 'SVNPathAuthz short_circuit" and supply an empty (0-byte, or
"[/]\n *=rw") authz file for repositories that don't need authz, I think
the effect on server resources will be minimal.

(The code will still try to authz every path, but the overhead of
reading/parsing/applying the authz file will be small.)

Though, in general, agreed with Philip here --- it'd be nice if
per-repository httpd.conf settings in SVNParentPath configurations
Just Worked.
