I believe it's because there are multiple requests required to get the
whole thing, but I don't know the details.  You'll notice that svn
annotate is also really slow.  One thing you can do to help is to
specify a range of revisions you'd like to see.

This has been the case with just about every remote repository I've ever
accessed.
