What setting does your apache use for KeepAlive?

Currently serf doesn't support digest authentication with KeepAlive off (which will be fixed with Serf 1.3.0, which should be available before Subversion 1.8.1)

Subversion performs much better to servers with keep alive enabled and the difference will be even better if you allow a huge number of requests on one connection. (The Subversion 1.7 release notes recommend a maximum setting of at least 1000)

Without keep alives a new http or https connection has to be setup for every request, while with keep alives a single connection can not only handle multiple requests after another, but also multiple requests at the same time.
