Mateusz,

It is possible to see active connections to svn, trac, Drupal and other
http services at:

   http://svn.osgeo.org/server-status

I have seen long running svn transactions (MKACTIVITY for instance).  I
might be interested to keep an eye on this aspect when the system is having
troubles.

Unfortunately, from the server-status report is hard to tell the difference
between an active connection that is stalled due to system load or a very slow
pipe back to the caller, and long lasting connections that are actually doing
a lot of work.

Best regards,
