This is a known limitation of current SVN implementation. We've reported
about it and fix is in the progress. Who knows when it will be fixed.
Especially the problem is with use of svn propset command.

We (ScummVM project) were selected as one of betatesters of new SVN
facility. So we migrated to SVN, but we did much more than plain
conversion. I described whole process here:

  http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/CVS2SVN

So far, besides slow commits sometimes, overall impression is really
good. To avoid big commit times as a temporary workaround we found
useful to commit by parts, i.e. select smaller subtrees in project
tree and run svn commit separately if there are too many changes.

Size of our CVS repository was comparable to yours, but I remember how
you were requested to clean it up and remove autogenerated doxygen
documentation several years ago.

Also see some pros/cons of such conversion here:

I hope this will be helpful to you.
