Bryan Sullivan (of Mercurial) recently posted this benchmark:

I know that some of the speed difference is due to the fact that bzr
doesn't need a specialized server at the other end point -- it can
pull natively over HTTP, SFTP and so on. But in that case, I think we
should emphasize this point strongly in the feature list. As someone
who is new to both systems, the above speed comparison numbers will
easily bias one towards Mercurial. I'm not saying Mercurial is bad --
I use it on a daily basis and its *great*. All I'm saying is that bzr
should play to its strengths.
