Slow relative externals

Dear users,

My repository resides on remote server. I noticed that extensive use of
relative SVN externals (>100) significantly slows down the checkout and
update.

What is the underlying reason for that? Is any optimization possible?

I'm using SVN v1.5.5, the server runs under Apache.

Thank you in advance,

Alexander.
