Slow Checkout

I wrote the simple test code below to time checking out a folder from an SVN repository.  This code takes ~50 seconds to run.  Is there something I can do to speed it up?  As a reference the same checkout with Tortoise takes >10 seconds and Eclipse w/ svnkit is ~2x faster.

SVNKit Ver: 1.2.3
SVN Ver: 1.5.6
