Therefore, since the 2 profiles could be seen as independent, I do not
know if it is possible to really improve here; by design.

The first pull could be long and resource hungry but the second one
should be a bit quicker.  Well, it depends on how many commits are done
in the meantime (between the 2 pulls).


All the best,
