I found the same issue using Ubuntu 9.04 32bits server
Linux hdm-s004 2.6.28-11-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 02:48:10 UTC 2009 
i686 GNU/Linux
libapache2-svn 1.5.4dfsg1-1ubuntu2
subversion 1.5.4dfsg1-1ubuntu2

I also found some interesting information here:
http://groups.google.se/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/d14c54c3b8a56255
and here http://www.sharp-tools.net/archives/000928.html

Issue seems to be memory leakage due to authentication requested for
each path, which for big repos tree can be really problematic.

Workaround proposed is to add 
SVNPathAuthz off
in /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf

Path authorization file still works correctly and users are still asked to 
enter user name / password the first time they connect

Still I'm very interested in a solution since this issues reduces
authentication possibilities.
