I'll freely admit a (not very) hidden bias here - the slowness of an initial clone (or going through the "download a shared repo, unpack it, create a branch and update" rigmarole) makes this a nasty test for Bazaar. But I do nevertheless think it's an important use case, as it's all about encouraging casual users to contribute.
One thing that we're not taking advantage of on code.python.org for Bazaar is "stacked branches". This is basically an indirection technique that doesn't require a full revision history download to get started. Stacked branches greatly improve performance for the initial pull and push, and reduces disk usage on the server.
When the new machine is in place, I'll make sure we provide stacked branches for the MvL Experiment.
