I don't think I implied that I thought it was "OK performance" -
that's just how fast my client/server combination runs. I'd be
overjoyed if I could make it run twice as fast, but since I have no
control over the server configuration or the configuration of the SAN
it's connected to (where my data is stored), I accept the performance
that I get and worry about bigger things that I *can* influence.

On a VM that runs on the same VMWare cluster as the SVN server, and
attached to the same SAN, the same checkout took just under 16
minutes.

I'm hoping that when we upgrade everything (clients and server) later
this year to 1.8.x, with a new server built out on a new VM host
cluster & SAN, it'll improve.
