Right, but AFAIK I have not seen any SubVersion repository that has
enabled the gzip compression, not even Google Code, despite these days
Google is all obcessed with performance.

Right but this is just an opportunity for SubVersion core developers to
think about adding gzip/deflate compression built-in mod_dav_svn,
because if they do not do it, no SubVersion repository is doing it and
SubVersion servers could be much faster then they are today but they aren't.
I am not sure what is the way to submit improvement suggestions, but if
any SubVersion core developer is reading this, please consider adding
gzip/deflate compression built-in mod_dav_svn.
