1, 2 and 5 come from the fact that bzr checkout is really slow (yes, I was 
also disappointed to see that). I addressed that on launchpad's IRC and will 
see with the admins next week. It affects only checkouts/pulls, it is not 
caused by overloaded servers. One of them told me that it is a known problem 
and is being worked on, without any further specification. Speed 
optimizations are said to be priority for 1.0 release which should be this 
year, so it will improve very likely.

If 5s for diff really disturb your workflow, get the full (heavyweight) 
checkout and work on that one. You need to do that once per computer, so it 
is not a big deal (yes, it takes 2h in this situation). For your convenience 
and for convenience of others, you can download 
http://geo.hmg.inpg.fr/~smilauer/yade/yade-bzr-snapshot-checkout.tar.bz2, 
then run "bzr update" there and you have full up-to-date repository. There 
is apparently to do that directly (bzr asking launchpad for tarball of the 
branch through the webserve plugin) but that is yet to find out. Once you 
have heavyweight checkout, "bzr diff" will work fast, since it will not need 
to connect to launchpad.

I don't know what you want GUI for, but have you tried "bzr viz" and "bzr 
g*" for that matter?

The advantage of decentralized vcs is that you can have your local branch, 
commit to it and push it upstream once some logical part of the work is 
done. It probably has zero advantage for you, since you are the central 
developer, but I do appreciate that a lot and other people will as well. I 
have yet to find out how branches and checkouts are different (except that 
the former are pulled/pushed and the latter checked out/commited).
