Latency certainly does matter; a large chunk of why it matters is
inefficiency within bzr - something Andrew Bennetts has been fixing (and
improving the tools for doing diagnosis on). So if you were to (for
instance) run 'bzr -Dhpss pull' in one of these pet projects, you will
get in ~/.bzr.log extra data about the round trips going on.
