I've found that git-svn gets slower as it runs. Try interrupting the clone and running "git svn fetch" -- it should pick up where it left off and will be MUCH faster if my experience is any indication. When I clone the big svn repository at work I usually restart it every 1000 revisions or so and it finishes in a fraction of the time it takes if I let it do everything in a single run.
