You can have git-svn import the standard svn layout. This will than import the tags and branches. And best I can tell, the reason it takes so long to do this is because it is analyzing each branch to see where it occurred, and then making the proper branches as it would be in Git. You can specify your own layout if your branches aren't set up like a standard svn.
