I find it hard to believe that anyone with typical development
patterns (not, for example, managing 20MB binary files) would have
any problems with Subversion's speed. I never have, on dozens of
projects and multi-GB repositories, often accessed internationally
via VPN.

Not in any way that a remote user could ever notice! The remark is
baseless.
