Beware, this will produce different results when you have any files where
the "svn:eol-style" property is set to "native".

I think all the responses so far including mine have missed the point
that the original poster has repeatedly said that copying an existing
working copy to the CIFS share is much faster than doing the checkout
there directly. I think that should rule out all of the differences
except the way that copy and svn handle the file creation and writing -
or perhaps some other operations that svn is doing that takes longer on
CIFS than local filesystems. Unless the anti-virus scan is somehow
bypassed in the copy operation.

Absolutely correct -- if you change files and recommit them. I was
mainly advising this as a test to see why the CIFS checkout is taking
so long.
This will use the CIFS share, but eliminate the role the local Windows
Subversion client might be playing. If the checkout is substantially
faster, the issue is with the local Windows machine and not
necessarily be the Windows server itself.
My hunch is that this won't be that much faster since the Windows
server is still running an anti-virus scan on the share.
