I don't think it matters: 1 minute is too long as well.

I don't care if Bzr is slower or faster than Git, but in order to switch
to Bzr, we need it to be "fast enough".  Currently it is not.  At the
very least the "bzr diff -r <something>" should not take more than
a couple seconds and it should be possible to get the "bzr status" of
a file instantaneously.

PS: and now for something completely different: is there a Texinfo
version of the Bazaar reference manual?
PPS: If we want to compare Bzr to Git, we may also want to look at the
repository size: currently, it looks like Git's version of the Emacs
repository weighs in around 200MB, while Bzr's version hovers
around 300MB.
