lp-140211244:///~ubuntu-core-dev/update-manager/main/.bzr is
deprecated - please use 'bzr upgrade' to get better performance
Format <RepositoryFormatKnit1> for

is deprecated - please use 'bzr upgrade' to get better performance

bzr lco lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/update-manager/main  5,12s user 0,29s system 12% cpu 42,447 total

So about 42 sec for a lightweight checkout.

That it way better than the 3 minutes for emmet (perhaps mainly because
of using the bzr+ssh:// transport) and IMO almost acceptable.
