That definitely used to be the case, but Sebb trimmed this down considerably a while ago. In particular, one used to have a complete copy of all ICLAs, but that is no more. I don't know about how long it will take to download just what the workbench needs, but downloading everything every tool might need is less than 200MB these days. I just tried it here after erasing my /srv/svn directory, and was able to completely download everything in 71 seconds using the command "rake svn:update". This was across wifi with Spectrum, where my plan provides me 200Mb/second download speeds. - Sam Ruby
