Mercurial and Bazaar SSH Speed

[Martin Pool]

Both these lists now have a policy against cross-posting, because it
tends to degenerate into noise, but I'm letting the first post through
for the record.

As I understand it, it turns out that the server here is very
cpu-constrained compared to a typical modern pc.  Neither hg nor bzr
is really tuned for that case.  Because bzr can operate pretty well
across sftp it did much better here.
