TW took 1.5 hours to process less packages???? Leap and TW have different mirror sets. Most contain the "LTS" Leap, with ostensibly slow churn (though not so much for the alphas & betas). A subset contains the rolling release TW, with near daily churn. In US that subset is small, so reliably decent average speed is a mere wish.
Try it in Australia, especially if you have a bunch of OBS repos enabled. I was getting under 40KiB/s for the actual package downloads a few nights ago. The refresh takes ages, and it does this sequentially. I find that it is usually due to a single mirror that Mirrorbrain selects, but does not really work. It is usually temporary, but 'temporary' can be days. The issue may not even be the mirror itself, it could be something like an ISP peering. In these cases, I just find the best mirror manually and hard-code the repo in the repo file and refresh. Finding the nest mirror is more of an art than a science though. Still.. with the size of OBS and everything, for a free service, I am still VERY impressed. Even though it is a little slow sometimes, it is still an awesome community service and the entire world is better off for it. I doubt my wife would be happy moving to Germany for faster Tumbleweed updates. -- Ben
