Well, I can say that I've experienced some problems regarding speed when browsing code. The items in the left menu sometimes just keep showing a "loading..." mesagge, but they never completely load, making it hard to access some file in the browse code view. Usually, trying again solves it. I'm not sure it's my connection, because I've seen that behaviour in a number of different machines. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's not too rare.
Appart from that, the two main problems I see are the quota limit and that you're unable to export your repository (for moving to another hosting service, if you find that appropriate at some future point). About the quota, I think it's reasonable anyway to put some limit, and the faq's say that if you hit the limit (which admitedly is fine for most projects), you can ask for more space, so it's not that terrible, probably. As for eventually migrating from google code, I remember reading that for now, you just can do a check out of a revision, but not getting your whole repo (I might be wrong, I've just taken a glance at the faqs and can't find info about this). Anyway, I've been using google code to host some 4 or 5 projects, and I have to say that I'm mostly happy with it. It's a good service, it's free and some of those limitations may get worked out with the time. The only real problem I see is that you can't export your repository (which I remember reading somewhere, but I'm not sure now if it still true...) My two cents.
