I do find the increase in time for the pull quite irritating. On my
reasonably fast desktop (monotone 0.34):

$ time mtn pull
mtn: connecting to pidgin.im
mtn: finding items to synchronize:
mtn: certificates | keys | revisions
mtn:       53,664 |   22 |    17,845
mtn:  bytes in | bytes out | certs in | revs in
mtn:    22.9 k |    15.7 k |    12/12 |     3/3
mtn: successful exchange with pidgin.im

real    0m46.042s
user    0m10.841s
sys     0m0.660s

On slower machines I've seen it take > 1 minute even when relatively few
revisions are involved.
