Naturally. As long as you don't want to use it at all, it will perform
ok :).

bzr makes some effort to batch up operations on a working tree, but it

and generally doesn't /need/ to be, because the common case is that the
branch and repository for the tree are also on the same hard disk (or
local NFS server).
