I don't think there's any problem with private-ppa.launchpad.net. I'd say that the problem is rather with apt's HTTPS transport, which renegotiates an SSL connection for every single request, which is particularly a problem since apt won't make multiple concurrent requests to a single host (bug #275994). A tcpdump should confirm that most of the time is spent in SSL handshakes.
