Ah, I see. I had the original posting interpreted
as 'time svn co'.

In case that the server load can't be measured,
a parallel checkout (or export) could saturate the
machine and it would address the actual server
load concern: peak load. As long as there is only
one client, the server load can be as high as it
wants to be. But no extra measurement is needed
right now.
