Git is very fast for me on M$ too. I am noticing some improvements in
the new bzr repo too. I had anti virus running on my system which was
a big cause for slow down. Every new file was getting scanned. If the
tool creates a lot of small files or open and close files too often,
this was triggering the on-access scanning. I figured out a hack to
disable it for the emacs repository folders and am seeing a noticeable
improvement. I am not collecting times for each invocation of bzr pull
and update. Once I have enough samples, I can post (on bzr list) the
average times. M$ has a nice tool called 'timeit' which is part of the
resource kit. This not only functions as a nix time command but also
stores the output in a DB. Repeated calls will append the information
to the DB file and you can query the average.
