Re: Surely 'bzr branch' shouldn't be this slow?

It certainly is!  I've been fighting for 3 days now to branch on one
of my most powerful machines at home (AMD Duron 1.3 GHz, 500 MB RAM)
without success, and I gave up today.  Both sftp/http methods get
stuck around 275/300 MB, and the machine is experiencing sky high
loads; I can't even login.  I'm tired of killing bzr and restarting
the process; it always fails.

At work, on a Pentium IV 2 GHz/1G RAM it took me about an hour and a
half with a slower connection.

I guess if I compress the shared repo and scp it to my home machine,
it would work, right?
