Because Subversion does things which don't parallelize well inside the
software? Merging, blaming and others all use multiple network
connections, afaik. As others explained: when using externals,
Subversion can't know that the repository you're connecting to will be
the same as the one you're checking your main tree out of: the main
reason it exists is to pull stuff from other repositories.

A better question would be: if svn+ssh does not suit your needs, why
not switch to something which does? (https://?)

Bye,
