On the client side, for each committed file, one copy is placed in .svn folder, and an other copy in a temporary folder (which is deleted after file transfer in v1.9). So for each file committed, a double copy is made client-side. This temporary copy is really necessary? I think it shows how I/O intensive using 40,000 small files is. Especially if they are in the same directory, many filesystems get increasingly unhappy as they try to manage that many files in one directory.
