Not exactly, however if you've got a crafter within 10 levels of the item that needs to be repaired (i.e. a leatherworker for leather boots, goldsmith for metal earrings, etc) and you repair an item it goes up to an additional 100% (if you repair at 97% it goes up to 197%), which considerably slows the time needed to repair again. It's not new to the game, but it is something worth considering.
