We use VNC to access our servers at work from our Winblows 7
workstations. Our software is GUI-based, and VNC works much better than
Putty/Excel. We do not tunnel it through SSH because we are inside of a
secure network or VPN, but VNC can be tunneled through SSH or can be
used with a security module.

VNC? I've done plenty of remote coding via SSH, but not VNC. What's the
underlying circumstances that are motivating that choice?
Obviously, if you can address the underlying need while getting
developers to run the builds on their local workstations, you'll offload
your biggest resource consumption.
A checkout of the source to do a build is non-trivial: it's about
6GB of files.
I'm not a big fan of git for a typical project, but large source trees
is supposedly where it excels, if you can convince your developers to
make the transition.
By separating the build environment from the subversion host, I believe
that we can get better performance and manageability.
Definitely. I'm wondering whether you might want to consider using
on-demand cloud machines for the build hosts.

That was my thought as well, based on what I've heard. (I don't have
first hand experience comparing svnserve to Apache hosted SVN.)
But it sounds like the SVN hosting aspect is a comparatively small part
of this project, and not where you need to do your initial optimizations.
