I'm using bzr.dev and I get similar numbers for trunk on the emacs
repository.  Of course, this is on an underpowered laptop, but I still
have a hard time waiting over a minute for log information.

time bzr log > /dev/null

real    2m7.347s
user    1m52.223s
sys     0m1.152s

Even worse, just getting the last 10 revisions is also ridiculously
slow.

time bzr log -r -10.. > /dev/null 

real    1m5.250s
user    0m59.520s
sys     0m0.320s

I didn't want to pile on with this particular complaint, as I know that
it has been brought up before, but bzr log is really really slow on
repositories with as many revisions as Emacs has.

I really like bzr's log output, as it makes the branch merging very
clear, but I really wish I knew of a sensible way to just get the last
few changes on a branch.
