Both JavaHL and SVNKit works against the same server (svnserve). Servers
prior to 1.4.0 wasn't able to reuse the same connection (socket) for
several subsequent operations (and each higher level operation may
require several low level ones) on the same repository. 1.4.0 version
introduced "reparent" protocol command that allowed to reuse the same
connection for different operations against the same repository.

I think the time closed socket spends in TIME_WAIT mode depends on the
way socket is created. There is SO_LIGNER option:

/**
  * Specify a linger-on-close timeout. This option disables/enables
  * immediate return from a <B>close()</B> of a TCP Socket. Enabling
  * this option with a non-zero Integer <I>timeout</I> means that a
  * <B>close()</B> will block pending the transmission and acknowledgement
  * of all data written to the peer, at which point the socket is closed
  * <I>gracefully</I>. Upon reaching the linger timeout, the socket is
  * closed <I>forcefully</I>, with a TCP RST. Enabling the option with a
  * timeout of zero does a forceful close immediately. If the specified
  * timeout value exceeds 65,535 it will be reduced to 65,535.
  * <P>
  * Valid only for TCP: SocketImpl
  *
  * @see Socket#setSoLinger
  * @see Socket#getSoLinger
  */
public final static int SO_LINGER = 0x0080;

So far SVNKit doesn't set this option. I've just checked and found that
by default SO_LINGER is disabled, at least on Windows. May be it makes
sense to set it.
