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.
