One example for using a single repository is sandboxing. This
repository is separate from the client's, may utilize a different SCM,
access is limited, it may or may not be local but is always under your
control.

Regarding network congestion, my point wasn't that it would be reduced
using a single repository but that a single repository can lead to
sluggish response as SVN determines status, e.g. creating a working
copy of trunk/ and therefore all projects below it. As you correctly
point out and apparently not clear in my statement, it's is not
necessarily a result of a single repository but poor working
practice.

On a side note, with Xcode 3+ sandboxing can be achieved using the
"Make Snapshot" feature.
