Offhand, I've no idea. And it's irrelevant to the extent that whether
my network is slow or not, Mercurial and Subversion are usable for me,
where Bazaar is not. (Assuming I don't keep an updated local mirror of
the repo, but check out a new copy when I need it). We'd need
equivalent repositories to put that statement on a scientific basis,
though.

(I'll see if I can concoct a sensible test of the bandwidth between
python.org and my home this evening. If I can, I'll post the results).

Paul.
