The speed depends on which subversion client backend someone is using. 
HTTP will be slower than using the svn native protocol, but the serf 
subversion backend will perform parallel fetches.

I would like to see this patch get into the OE tree to make the tree 
more robust to proxies. Currently, this is the only customization I need 
for the projects I work on.
