5 connections too, but each connection should be much faster
(almost immediate). The number of connections does not depend
on the method ("svn", "svn+ssh", "http" or whatever).

Subversion assumes that a connection is cheap (though in practice,
this is not always true), so can make several ones (5 for some
commands). The recommended solution for ssh is to use some tools
like fsh to do only one authentication.
