Are you saying that git-svn is slow at pulling changes? It is quite okay
in my experience, unless you pull once every other month. But I can't
relate that to your original assertion quoted above.

What I recall from previous discussions is that you are interested on
having local feature branches shared among your coworkers. That's doable
with git-svn with some constraints.
