I quoted the wiki above in the thread:

http://bazaar-vcs.org/Welcome?action=recall&rev=120
Revision 120 as of 2007-01-25 16:00:21

"We expect 1.0 to release by March 2007 with performance equivalent to
the best in the field."


You can add this one:

http://bazaar-vcs.org/Benchmarks/SpaceEfficiency
"Comparing the average of the ratios above, Bazaar is 22% more
efficient than Mercurial and 15% more efficient than Git."

This one is still there, has been so for quite some time. Now, look at
how the benchmark was done (project without history to benchmark a
tool whose _point_ is to manipulate history). Look at another
independant benchmark like
http://vcscompare.blogspot.com/2008/06/git-mercurial-bazaar-repository-size.html
then take your conclusions.
