"svn diff" is extremely fast because it doesn't go to the network
"svn status" is extremely fast because it knows what has changed
without having to go to the network
(unlike CVS you don't use "svn update" to see what has changed - you use
"svn status". "svn update" syncs with the repository)
svn commit will not be noticeably slower over the network than it is for
me because subversion only sends the diff over the network, not the whole
file.
checkouts are a bit slow but how often does that happen?
The ability to rename files and directories without losing history gives
you a lot more freedom than CVS does. We have a "cvsweb" up and running
so that will be available ("viewvc" is the new name for "cvsweb" and
covers subversion as well as CVS).

I haven't tried svnsync but I don't have a problem putting the hook in to
the subversion repository here.
