I've had different experiences. I just saw it take Subversion almost
3 hours to check out a Linux kernel 2.5 tree over a compressed ssh
tunnel with svnserve. Now it's possible that there was some other
issue here, but downloading the same thing as a tarball and unpacking
it takes less than a minute. From my completely unscientific
observation, it appeared characteristic of a system with lots of
back-and-forth that is thus susceptible to latency problems.
I postulated that disabling compression might actually help things,
since the compression hinders latency-sensitive applications. But I
have not yet tested that hypothesis.
