Maybe the process is fully occupied doing disk or network I/O. In
Windows Task Manager, can you add the columns "I/O read", "I/O write",
"I/O other" and "I/O read bytes", "I/O write bytes", "I/O other bytes"
(via View > Select columns), and check if you see activity there?
Is there anything special about that branch you're trying to update?
Is it specific to that branch, and other branches work fine?
Maybe someone made a mistake with that branch in the repository (e.g.
server-side copied from the wrong level, or perhaps someone created an
infinite recursion of "svn:externals" definitions in there)? See if
you can browse the branch with a repository browser (with TortoiseSVN,
or via 'svn ls $URL' and 'svn proplist -v -R $URL' (for seeing the
svn:externals properties) from the command line) and look for anything
out of the ordinary.
