Keep in mind, LDAP *is not usually doing authentication*. It's
normally doing account management. With Active Directory and most
setups, *Kerberos* is doing authentication. So, for example, the first
connection to a Kerberos service is sensitive to slow reverse DNS
lookups and time skew between your client machine and the LDAP server.
Also, for both LDAP and Kerberos, there are often multiple servers
configured to run the service, and one of them may be having problems.

I'd reach out to your LDAP manager and ask if they've noticed erratic
behavior. Also, see if you can repeat the problem. If the SVN server
itself was very busy with some bulky "svnsync" operation, or just
system backups, you might have seen a temporarily slow load.
