Indeed. :-(

Yes, still waiting for those improvements.  When using the Emacs
repository, Bzr is slower than CVS when doing "bzr diff -r submit:" or
"bzr log" or "bzr annotate".  The is very sad since Bzr is working fully
locally on a fairly fast and completely unloaded machine, whereas CVS
has to contact the remote subversion.gnu.org server shared by many
projects and hence rather loaded (and the log/diff/annotate is actually
performed by the remote machine).
