FWIW, I've taken to doing the following in the (possibly mistaken) hope 
it speeds things up a bit:

1. setup a bzr shared repo
2. pull lp:emacs into branch "lptrunk" in it.
3. pull savannah emacs into  branch trunk in it.

When updating, pull 2 then 3, to minimise amount to grab from savannah.

 - launchpad emacs mirror is "genetically related" to savannah (pulled 
from it) and is much faster than savannah (still feels kinda slow, but 
hey I use git at work...), and only a few hours behind at most afaik.

Or maybe I'm imagining that it's any better at all, I haven't really 
looked into how smart bzr is about these things or done benchmarks.
