OK, I used the latest 1.9 build, and I got

>timer on & "\Documents and Settings\Gustav\Desktop\Bazaar"\bzr branch http://co
de.python.org/python/3.0 bzrpy3 & timer off
Timer 1 on: 23:11:37
Branched 37415 revision(s).
Timer 1 off: 23:28:31  Elapsed: 0:16:53.52

I'm not sure what that proves, but I offer the figures for comparison.
For me, it looks like a simple bzr branch is still pretty slow. Maybe
it says network performance is slow, but why is my time 4x longer than
yours?

Paul.
