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

I am using bzr.dev.

   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).

The major bottleneck happens with GNU Emacs repository. My
projetcs are pretty small (in files and revisions) but they
"lag".
