That's pretty bad.  It's certainly not normal behaviour.

Which versions of bzr on the client and the server?  Are the formats of the
remote and local branches and repositories the same (check bzr info -v)?  Also,
try adding -Dhpss to the command line and look in the ~/.bzr.log to see which
smart-server commands are taking all the time (and bandwidth).
