Currently, branching through http is faster than using the smart
server (this is being worked on, though).
On the other hand, pulling/pushing/merging, is much faster with the
smart server, which is fairly trivial to use if you have bzr installed
on the server, and users have ssh access.
You just have to use bzr+ssh:// instead of http:// in the URLs for
these operations.
