The rsync is a one-off cost.  Once you have the repository locally you
can checkout any individual revision much more quickly.  I have a local
copy of the gcc repository and a checkout of gcc trunk from localhost
takes about 40 seconds.  I'm not using fancy hardware.  I can even check
it out across my very average WiFi in just over 60 seconds.
