There are some things you can do to make load faster. In 1.10 load has
a new --no-flush-to-disk option since a mirror typically doesn't need
the fsync() guarantees. On Linux you can use the eatmydata LD_PRELOAD
library to achieve as similar thing for releases before 1.10. You may
also find that increasing the memory cache speeds up loading:

  eatmydata svnadmin load -M256 some-repo < some-dumpfile
