A cvs checkout of the ports tree from anoncvs over my home internet connection takes 3 minutes. In that case the client is an 8 year old machine with SATA SSD, server HDD (though the tree is probably mostly in cache on the server). I don't think is _way_ too slow when a build could easily take hours and often 10-20 minutes. On a better connected machine that should be at least a bit better too. btw git clone from github on the same client machine takes about 5 minutes.
