Yes, it's important, and I will definitely be doing bug 61060 before the Zürich
Hackathon.

Yes, most of the time is used in downloading.  For instance, generally most of
the Puppet time is used for downloading the entire MediaWiki core git
repository (with all history).  That is one of the files I will be bundling
with bug 61060.

This is worth investigating/trying, but I won't be looking at it before Zürich.
