I have created a combined patch (just one file this time) for the
performance fix, available here:

http://subversion.tigris.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/668/performanceFix3-combined.patch

Bug is here:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2812

I added a bit to the log message and included it inside the patch
file this time.  Any chance to take a look? Thanks.
