title: SVN/TortoiseSVN painfully slow
body: <p>I'm experiencing painfully slow operations with one of our SVN repositories/projects.</p>
  
  <p>For example, it's taking 5-10 minutes to revert the changes in one small file (10&nbsp;KB). Or about 40-60 minutes to check out the project of 100&nbsp;MB.</p>
  
  <p>There are about 30 other projects on the same server, some vastly bigger than this one, and none of them preform like this.</p>
  
  <p>One thing to note is that this project is a <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/" rel="noreferrer">Magento</a> project. It's not very large in terms of disk space, but I have 23k Files and 11k folders, and I have read SVN preforms badly when there are lots of little files; is this true? And is there anything I can do to speed things up?</p>
