regression? branching lp:branch into empty local shared repo is very slow

[Alexander Belchenko]

I've tried to get lp:python/2.5 branch. I'm doing:

bzr init-repo --no-trees python.bzr --1.9-rich-root
cd python.bzr
bzr get lp:python/2.5

After that the last command spending several hours in the phase "Finding revisions" with network 
speed of about 1KB/sec. If I run the same command outside the shared repo then it starts fetching 
revisions almost immediately. Something wrong here.

bzr 2.1.0b4 (standalone installer) @ Windows XP.
