Hi, Paul, If at all, I’d expect a speed boost if the temp folder is on a fast drive (e. G. SSD or RAM Disk) separate from the backend storage, so storage and temp file I/O won’t compete for I/O. (Size of RAM useable for OS caches also makes a difference, and mount options like “no-sync” which can be acceptable for temp folders – but never for backend storage, of course).
And I also guess the speed difference is more siginificant if there are several concurrent accesses, so the I/O operations overlap. A single SVN backend process is pretty much “serialized” in what it does, no concurrent / async I/O yet.

I thought there might also be a speed boost for having the temp folder set to the same driver as the destination folder for Subversion's server-side storage, but there is not unfortunately. Or if there is, I can't quantify it. - Paul
