Thanks for the help. I applied your patch to a clean 1.4.3 tree, and built subversion itself plus the perl bindings. But git-svn is still slow, and the testcase you gave in that thread still fails.

(I'm pretty sure that I'm actually using the bindings I've built; I install them to a nonstandard location, so if I don't set PERL5LIB they aren't found at all, and perl complains. When I do set it to my patched bindings, perl accepts it but your testcase fails.)
