FYI, here is what I had to say on a private forum:

        "I tried again to import NetBSD into Subversion, and then
        to check it out, run 'svn status -u', etc.  The Subversion
        client memory usage was unacceptable.  I thought there
        was a memory leak, but when I asked about the memory
        use on the Subverson users mailing list, I found out
        that it hogs memory by (mis-)design.  See the discussion
        at <http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-05/0211.shtml>.
        Somebody who has more time, patience, and understanding of the
        code than I can probably reduce the memory use quickly.
