Summary

Sometimes you may face a slow checkout of an project.

Why is the download slow on svn checkout of a project?

The more the number of binary files, the more time Subversion takes to checkout, regardless of the size. This is because the repository has to undergo base64 conversion at both ends for it be transferred over the XML network stream.
