Guido,

You *really* need to run bzr pack before running performance tests on
the repository we generated via that import. In the process of getting
the conversion done, we created a *huge* number of pack files (rather
than 1 per 10k as fastimport would normally do).

After running 'bzr pack', I suspect Bazaar's performance will be much
better. Thanks to John for his email recommending the same thing - the
penny dropped when I saw his suggestion.
