Yes, we run into the same problems and fixed it by NOT using [collections] 
paths.
If you'd do:

[paths]
repos/ = repos/*

as you said all your repos are at the top-level of those folders, it should 
improve speed dramatically, as for the version using [collections] is scanning 
the directory structure on every request and that seems really really slow on a 
shared network drive.

Hope that helps
