By "single client request" I assume you mean a high level operation such as checkout, rather than an HTTP request such as GET. 1.8 is probably using skel mode changing from a single large HTTP request to multiple small HTTP requests. I think pwauth runs a separate process to authenticate each HTTP request so it is not as efficient as other auth methods. If you must use pwauth you might try disabling skel mode to get behaviour more like 1.6: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#serf-skelta-default -- Philip Martin WANdisco
