I don't think it attempts to determine if the default repo is slow - it
just automatically accesses the mirror for content (as opposed to
metadata, which is taken from the default repo).

Yes, if any package is not found in the primary repo, the additional
repos will be searched. At this point, AI allows only 1 additional
repo, but there is no such limitation on IPS itself.
