If your clients have low-latency connections to the server, turning on
http compression (mod deflate) in the Apache server may help. We found
that it reduced our checkout times about 20%.
We also found virus scanning software can impact checkout times. We
still leave it turned on because of our IT policy.
As others have stated, SVN will always be slower for checkout than CVS,
but that is not the common operation.
