As you've read in the responses by Ben Reser and Ivan Zhakov earlier
in this thread, the ra-session-reuse (connection caching) is work in
progress. That might take some time before it ends up in a final
release (if it's slated for 1.9, that's at least half a year away).
Have you considered setting up something like "write-through
proxying"[1], where you set up local read-only mirrors of your central
svn repository (which transparently sent through write requests to the
master)? That might significantly reduce latency for those read
operations, and might be good enough to make things workable.
