Well, that number is actually CPU load directly, since when putting
together the notes my machine had 2-3 builds running in the
background, so more proper benchmarking wasn't really possible :-).

However, the initial pull is on the whole mostly CPU bound; monotone
is rather busy doing hashing, compression, uncompression, xdelta
calculation and application, and extensive validity checking on all
the new data.
