If you're not already aware using the exclusive locking behavior added in 1.8.0
will help on NFS. Details are in our release notes:
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#exclusivelocking

The exclusive locking limits you to one client, but since we're not making and
releasing a lot of locks you gain performance at the cost of losing concurrency
from multiple svn clients using the same working copy. In a build server you
shouldn't need this concurrency.

NFS performance is going to remain limited compared to local file systems.
