What version of Git do you use? If you use a version earlier than 1.5.6
than you can notice *considerable* speed up by upgrading to the latest
version of Git. Also, git-svn does not work well on Windows. Cygwin
version is slow due to fork(), and MSYS Git has some other issues with
Perl. So, if you want to convert a huge SVN repo, it is better to do on
Linux and using the latest version of Git. Perhaps, running on tmpfs may
speed up the process even more.

I have never encounted them. Are you sure that you import into a clean
Git repo?
