Sorry for mistake. Should be:
up svn:// ~ 0m 19sec
up https:// ~ 0m 35 sec
up svn vs https perf, % ~ > 23%

As I know compression appeared only in svn 1.7 and a didn't make any
setup with compression level in svn 1.5.3 and 1.6.17.
"Subversion 1.7 offers the --compression (-c) option to svnserve and
the SVNCompressionLevel directive for mod_dav_svn. Both accept a value
which is an integer between 0 and 9 (inclusive), where 9 offers the
best compression of wire data, and 0 disables compression altogether."
I done some tests with compression=9, but by my mistake it was with client 1.5.4
Will try again with client 1.7.4 and default compression=5 and max=9.
First test result:
co https:// - 39m 17sec - compression level =9
cat /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf
<IfModule dav_svn_module>
# Enable a 1 Gb Subversion data cache for both fulltext and deltas.
SVNInMemoryCacheSize 1048576
SVNCacheTextDeltas On
SVNCacheFullTexts On
SVNCompressionLevel 9
SVNAdvertiseV2Protocol On

You are right, but is possible. When I have more free time.
