checkout, update, and commit are slow using WinXP client with a WebDav repo

Hello there. I'm looking for a bit of help troubleshooting a WinXP 
client problem. Executing any of the "checkout," "update," and "commit" 
commands against a WebDav repository is really slow (e.g., checking out 
a small repository takes about 7-8 minutes). The requests never fail, 
they just take a really long time to complete. I don't have any problems 
working with repositories that use the svn network protocal, just ones 
that use WebDav.

I've tried a few different versions of the SVN client for WinXP, 
TortoiseSVN, and Subclipse. All exhibit the same problem. Currently, I'm 
working with the SVN command line client, version 1.3.2 (r19776) on a 
machine running WinXP SP2 (with all current patches).

I ran Ethereal to capture some information about the conversation. 
Here's the only interesting HTTP request that I noticed:

--- Begin Ethereal Snip ---
REPORT /qed/!svn/vcc/default HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: svn.pilzner.com
User-Agent: SVN/1.3.2 (r19776) neon/0.25.5
Connection: TE
TE: trailers
Content-Type: text/xml
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Accept-Encoding: gzip
<S:update-report send-all="true" 
xmlns:S="svn:"><S:src-path>http://svn.pilzner.com/qed</S:src-path>
<S:target-revision>3</S:target-revision><S:entry rev="3" 
start-empty="true"></S:entry></S:update-report
--- End Ethereal Snip ---

When the server receives the request it responds with a 400 status code 
(bad request). I'm assuming that this happens because the XML body isn't 
well-formed (the right angle bracket to close the <S:update-report> 
element is missing). The other interesting thing about this request is 
that after this there's no network traffic for several minutes.

Eventually the SVN client re-sends the request with a well-formed XML 
body and the server responds with a status code of 200. The SVN command 
then succeeds.

I'd appreciate any help troubleshooting this.

Thanks,
Erik

I don't see a way to do it on Win32 other than patching the config.hw
or neon.mak files, but I sent a message to the neon list asking about
it.

I'm not sure if there's a reason for it, but I'd LOVE to get it
changed.  It's quite irritating when debugging problems on windows to
not be able to get the full neon dump.
