speed of svn co --depth=empty

Hello friends,

I have svn directory with one 100 mb file and several small files.
I need to make change to one of small files.
Trying to save time, I did:

            svn co --depth=empty svn://host/dir
            svn up dir/smallfile

I'd expect the checkout to be very fast. But it isn't.
The working directory is indeed empty (except .svn) after checkout, as
expected.
But checkout takes same long time as it would take with 'svn co -N'. Weird.
How can I improve speed of empty checkout ?

The number of files in the directory is very small, around 30. But
there are large
subdirectories under it (I am not checkout out the subdirectories).

Viki
