As the thread I mentioned in my previous message describes, the
truncation patch quite effectively deletes files (in my case, with my
settings, at about 120MB/minute), although, again, I can't speak
specifically to the performance of the particular patch in SVN. I'm
forced to use it because my NAS uses EXT3 and can't be changed;
believe me, if I could, I'd rather use JFS or XFS myself.
