I can't say exactly what's happening in Niel's situation, but I support
a company with worldwide network, and when we SSH from Boston to India
or vice-versa, there is a few second delay. Because there's a 250ms
ping response delay, and the initial ssh handshake is the equivalent of
10-15 small packet round-trips, it's about 5-6 seconds before the
command prompt appears.
If you use svn:// protocol and svnserve, there's just the basic tcp
handshake before useful data starts going across, so it's much faster.
Call it 1-2 x the ping delay. About a half a second for me.
If you use https://, it looks like something like half a dozen small
packet round trips. In my case, about 2 seconds delay. So it's faster
than svn+ssh, but not as fast as svnserve.
