The current disk format imposes a high latency cost. You'll pay 6 times
the round trip time to bazaar.launchpad.net for every file you have
versioned.

We are fixing this, in the 0.92 release we hope to have a format that
will do about 12 round trips total for an initial push, which will be
supported (but not default for compatibility). Also in 0.92 we should
have improved bzr+ssh support that will do a similarly small number of
round trips and stream the data.

Both of these things should give a massive performance boost for 0.92.
