They actually took some steps to try and mitigate this - the version of Cydia that this jailbreak installs is pre-loaded with the catalogs of the main repositories.
The repos are still, of course, slammed. Keep in mind that there's no money in hosting one AFIK. Who's gonna pay for ramping up more servers? Can you even easily do that with Cydia or would it require a lot of hacking on code that mostly works well enough?
I think anyone aware enough to be jailbreaking the first day the jailbreak is out is also aware enough to know that a royal fuckton of other people are also jailbreaking, and that if they can chill out for just a couple more days then they'll be able to load up all their favorite tweaks.
