Did you remove all the unused logfiles?

Would it be possible to make your RCS repository available for some
analysis?

No - but I am using SVN 0.37.0 with Berkeley DB 4.2.52 (on Solaris 8), so
according to the FAQ, I should not need to do much.
Checking, svnadmin lists just one unused log file, size 1046646 bytes.
There's just one other log file, size currently about 900 KB.
With the unused log file removed, the total repository is now 11881 KB,
slightly under 5.5 times the size of the RCS system.
Discounting the still-in-use log file, SVN is using just about 5 times the
disk space of the RCS system.
$ cd /work/jleffler/svn/trial.1/db
$ du -ka
2 ./DB_CONFIG
8 ./__db.001
272 ./__db.002
88 ./__db.003
584 ./__db.004
16 ./__db.005
912 ./log.0000000036
328 ./changes
680 ./nodes
40 ./revisions
384 ./transactions
16 ./copies
808 ./representations
7704 ./strings
16 ./uuids
11859 .
$
Clearly, the majority of the space is in the strings file - nothing else is
as big.
