Then the huge increase in runtime would be, at least in part, explained by git-svn searching for ancestry. That you see those tags/1.2.3@123 things also means that the 1.2.3 tags got deleted and recreated, or at least git-svn thinks so. Maybe the ancestry detection goes nuts, hard to tell. Is that svn repo available anywhere?
