Every time you use a single-frequency repeater by itself you lose half (50% - 60%) of the throughput. Connecting one repeater to another repeater over the air results in losing half of the remaining throughput on each hop you take. By contrast, if you had a two-frequency repeater (for example, one box with two wireless cards) you would only lose around 20% of the throughput on each hop.
