I don't think the time it takes to make the original branch (or a
branch outside the shared repo) is CPU-bound.  It took me 50 minutes
on a 3GHz Windows machine with a single hyperthreaded core, and the
CPU time used by bzr never went up to more than 25%.

It's possible that the speed of the network connection is much more
important.  Mine is 3.5Mbps, in case it matters.
