In general, the protocol over which the connection is bundled is not a
big performance limit. For moderately used repositories, complex
post-commits doing silly things or doing checkouts to CIFS shares are
such overwhelming performance hits that I've not noticed particular
differences between svn+ssh and HTTPS.
Heavily burdened servers running into resource limits for all that
encryption, well, that's a different story.
