That option definitely looks interesting. From my reading, we could
use it to get apache to ignore all access restrictions except for the
SVN access file that I specify. Unfortunately my current performance
woes mostly come from the issues involved with processing the SVN
access file itself.

Thanks.
strace seems to indicate I/O issues as the bottleneck. The file is
loaded from NFS without caching.
The per-repository access file seems like my best bet for an immediate
solution. It is example 4 in this config:

The relevant code is in libsvn_repos/authz.c. Look at the call to
svn_repos_authz_read() in mod_authz_svn.c: the file is read and parsed
once per connection.
I guess you could cache the parsed svn_authz_t struct in a longer-lived
pool, or perhaps increase the lifetime of connections (compare the
