That's strange. Are you comparing to mercurial or git ? Which version of 
bzr were you using (bzr --version) ?

I think giving the name of the projects (if they are open source) and 
the commands you were using would be enough to see an eventual problem. 
I don't have experience for large projects with long history (the 
biggest project I use bzr with is ~ 2000 files with ~ 4000 revisions), 
but I compared those with mercurial a few months ago, and they were 
comparable in speed for branch/st/ci/diff commands (log and blame were 
much slower, but again, if there is no history, I don't think that's 
what you are talking about).

cheers,

David
