I ran "bzr branches" inside the shared repository "C:\code\bzr_repo2" and looked with filemon at what it was doing. This line highlights a couple of potential optimizations:
bzr.exe:4248 OPEN C:\code\bzr_repo2\.bzr\README\.bzr\branch-format PATH NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: All
It probably doesn't need to look for ".bzr" directories within other ".bzr" directories. Looking for a subdirectory of a file doesn't make much sense either.
