Have you read the data on the last part of my message?

In just thrice the time bzr required for pulling 600 revisions with the
smart protocol other VC systems can clone the whole 100,000+ revisions
of the Emacs repository, all branches included. Those VC systems can
pull the same 600 revisions on a matter of seconds, vs minutes for bzr.

How can bzr be deemed fast on the face of those hard facts?

Enough for what? For convincing the bzr community that there is nothing
to fix? Self-complacency and denial would be very damaging for bzr
giving the competitors it has.
