CIFS is a very chatty protocol. May I assume that you're checkout out
to a network mounted directory? In this case, you might try checkout
out to a locally mounted directory, then simply copying the checkout
out directory over to your CIFS mount. It's ugly, but it was much,
much faster way back in Subversion 1.4.x days.
Also, 2 GBytes over a translatlantic checkout is.... not really that
bad. And remember that Subversion is writing all the files *twice*,
once in .svn, and once in the actually checkout out copy, so you're
effectively transmitting 2 GB and writing 4 GB.
Directories with many thousands of files in one directory are *hell*
on most operating systems, especially inefficiently configured network
mounts. Check for directories that have tens our hundreds of thousands
of files in one directory, and avoid that practice.
You might also try splitting up the upstream repository, and using
"svn:extern" to cross reference to other repositories. It can make for
much smaller, safer checkouts.

See the contents of the ".svn" subdirectory, which maintains prisitine
copies of all the files.

If nothing else comes to light, consider keeping a pre-staged checkout
in a central directory. Download a clean copy of *that*, and simply do
"svn update" and/or "svn switch" to switch to the relevant tag or
branch.
