Some timings using bzr

It is usually not expected for transfer operations that don't require
much CPU, but it's OTOH the expected behavior for CPU-bound (or even
disk-bound) operations.  So maybe the explanation is just that you
benefitted from having 2 machines with 2 drives rather than a single
one.  The network between the two was apparently not the bottleneck.
