Can we profile this? I think connection sharing during the tests is
quite ugly for us - and I'd rather have a slightly slow (but not
hugely!) test suite that is clean. My main concern is that sftp
*appears* much slower than HTTP, and if that is the case, then its
concerning independently of the test suite : optimising the test suite
is a bandaid.

I've added this to http://bazaar.canonical.com/BzrWishlist as Robey has
indicated hes unlikely to have time for a bit :).
