Indeed. Here are results from 0.18 (real this time):

    $ bzr init
    real    0m1.101s
    user    0m0.620s
    sys     0m0.128s

    $ bzr add
    real    0m6.219s
    user    0m4.484s
    sys     0m0.320s

    $ bzr ci -m "- commit"
    real    1m42.505s
    user    0m43.171s
    sys     0m3.596s

    $ bzr ci -m "- commit"  > /dev/null 2>&1
    real    0m50.275s
    user    0m41.455s
    sys     0m2.804s

So, if there is no output the speed is under ONE minute! That'd be
over 200% improvement compared to 0.17

Should the messages be printed only if user requested -v or (multiples
of it like with ssh).
