svn 1.7 improvements: Large repo? (w/ 40,000 files)

Hello,

I notice that svn v1.7 is slated to have a new transfer protocol as well as
new WC module.

( http://subversion.apache.org/roadmap.html )

Right now, I have a repo with ~40,000 source and xml files.

Full checkouts take forever.

My machine is pretty beefy, so that's not the bottle neck. Network speed
to the remote svn server is OK, but not terrible, and certainly
not the bottle neck.

Assuming I upgrade my client to 1.7 when it comes out, my questions are:

- Will either of the above improvements help me if the server _does_ get
upgraded to v1.7?

- Will either of the above improvements help me if the server _does not_ get
upgraded to v1.7?

Thanks
