[JENKINS-2001] SVN check out slow performance issue - REGRESSION 1.419 to 1.421

The Subversion checkout in Hudson's continuous build is slow. Despite setting

the checkout to run against a memory based Solaris file system, the checkout is

still acting as slowly as to a regular filesystem. For example, the Subversion

checkout for a memory based Solaris file system took just 1 minutes and 30

seconds against 7 minutes and 9 seconds for Hudson's continuous build checkout

into a memory based Solaris file system (more than 4.5 times slower). Another

example, the Subversion checkout from NetBeans IDE took only 3 minutes and it

was done into harddisk file system which faster for 2 times comparing with

Hudson checkout into a memory based Solaris file system.
