FYI - I made clean clones from both launchpad and google code / mercurial today.
To ensure that the server was "queued" / cached, I did a checkout, deleted my local clone, and then repeated the checkout (timed the second time). I think you will be pleased with the results - here's what I got (Comcast broadband connection in Chicago): hg : 0m2.589s (yes, seconds); bzr: 12m54.025s (== 774.025); That is about a 300 X improvement (more than two orders of magnitude).
