Sloooow BDB tests

When I run the test suite, I can run all four sets of the fsfs tests
in about an hour.  But when I run them for BDB it takes 3 hours just
to run through one set.  I am assuming others are not seeing this.
Any idea what I can look for to speed it up?  I am using BDB from
MacPorts.  I glanced through the tests.log file and things look mostly
normal.  I did notice it is pretty slow to create a BDB repository.
For example, I get this when doing it myself:

$ time svnadmin create timing --fs-type=bdb

real	0m5.599s
user	0m0.018s
sys	0m0.104s

The test suite seemed to take about 4-5 seconds as well when doing
this.  On the same system, this is what I get when creating an fsfs
repos.

$ time svnadmin create timing2 --fs-type=fsfs

real	0m0.042s
user	0m0.009s
sys	0m0.013s

I have not looked closely at my Windows setup, but I would say it
takes 2-3 times as long to run the BDB tests as the fsfs.

I test with BDB all the time, and never see figures like this.

$ for fstype in fsfs bdb; do for i in 1 2 3; do rm -rf repos;
   echo "*** ${fstype} ***"; time svnadmin create --fs-type ${fstype} repos;
   done; done
*** fsfs ***

real	0m0.055s
user	0m0.016s
sys	0m0.004s
*** fsfs ***

real	0m0.018s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.004s
*** fsfs ***

real	0m0.016s
user	0m0.004s
sys	0m0.008s
*** bdb ***

real	0m0.199s
user	0m0.012s
sys	0m0.004s
*** bdb ***

real	0m0.124s
user	0m0.020s
sys	0m0.008s
*** bdb ***

real	0m0.199s

I think the tests already pass these parameters when creating the
repository.  I recall seeing something like that in the logs.

MacPorts says that it installs the AES version.  Maybe the library
initializes some ciphers or something when it loads?

I am assuming you do not see timings like this when you do something with BDB?

Isn't there a 'txn-nosync' option you can put in the bdb repository
db/settings file?
