Very slow network transfer

Hello,

Apologies if this has already been covered. I'm using tortoisesvn with an
SVN repository via http over the internet. Whilst the transfer of files
during an update following a switch is perfectly fast, ~40kb/s, the initial
'handshake' that occurs is excruciatingly slow, running at something of the
order of 100 bytes per second and often stalling altogether.

Is this a known issue? Is it likely to be my configuration, or that of the
repository? Ethereal shows the traffic as repeated 'PROPFIND' requests, and
from what I can tell from the delay between requests is with the server.

If the problem is simply network latency, might it perhaps be desirable to
adapt the protocol slightly so that multiple requests can either be sent
concurrently, or per http request?
