Why does Bazaar download so much data for a small change?

Hi,

I pulled from a remote location where only one line was modified in one
source file. Bazaar's progress bar showed that it downloaded over 1MB of
data. I'm not sure how a one line change can equate to 1MB of data but
it would certainly explain why Bazaar is one of the slowest VCSs.

Any idea what this could be? It would seem that this is an obvious place
for future optimisation.

Cheers,

Nick
