Bandwidth is not an issue, at least not a big one.
For every custom column, the repo browser has to make a round trip _for
every single file and folder_ currently shown in the browser. You can
estimate the time for one round trip to around half a second (good
guess) up to two seconds.
As an example:
the TSVN directory
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/svn/tortoisesvn/trunk/src/TortoiseProc
has 121 files/dirs in it.

121*0.5 seconds = 60.5 seconds

Do you *really* think waiting a whole minute (if you have only one
custom property column) is acceptable?
