That's certainly much better. More could be done but perhaps this
specific bug should be closed, and we can identify some others to do
next.

A few questions:

 * how close is 170kB/s to saturating your local link?
 * are there any obviously inefficient hpss calls (there probably are
too many graph calls, and that would be clearly a different bug)
 * is 11.5MB a reasonable size for the amount of actual change in that
repo from r10721 to r10876?

Taking 28.7s before starting to send bulk data is a bit high.

I think so. I don't like having very broad bugs open that are going
to stay open until we reach some kind of asymptotically good
performance. On the other hand it is nice to have a few clear leading
bugs to point users and developers to.
