There are two main culprits there:
1. filtering of nested features: this requires downloading of all features,
including nested ones, in order to present a filtered view
2. both site.xml and each feature.xml should use the environment attributes
(os/ws/nl/arch) on the <feature> element, and on the <include> element,
respectively. Failing to do this, involves extra downloads to find out what
the environment is. For example, environment filtering is done at the site
level, feature jars for non-matching features will not be downloaded.
3. the update site is a bit slow, as there is lots of network activity these
days, due to the large number of builds to upload/download, etc.
4. last, but not least, the update lookup code and networking code should be
improved. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=63932
