Some of these were mentioned above:

-- use -fsfs

Sure the bdb package is faster, but as you show in your example it can easily be corrupted. Using -fsfs makes a tar backup simple and reliable.

-- add "SVNPathAuthz off" to your Apache2 location directive

If you don't need per-directory security, turn off the checks to improve the speed.

-- using SSL

Someone mentioned having trouble with the 'SSLRequire' directive. The easiest way to force SSL is to add a RedirectMatch to your normal, HTTP (80) virtual host:

RedirectMatch (.*) https://svn.mydomain.org$1

SSL and Apache2 work well and allow one to control access using authentication methods that might already be in use. They are slower though and can be CPU intensive. If you don't need the SSL, you might consider avoiding it in order to improve speed. mod_auth_digest offers a more secure method, but I've never tried it with Subversion clients.
