With bzr or the bzr developers? :-)
A bzr pull for the trunk takes 25-30 seconds when there is nothing to pull.
CVS took 4-5 seconds in the same case.  This is critical, as pulling from the 
trunk is done quite often.  Other operations are also slow (commit to the 
trunk for instance).  It is on the edge of usable.

Maybe it is bad to compare to git:

- Bzr is slow!
- Compared to what?
- Git.
- Well, git is superfast compared to anything, that means bzr is not really
  slow.
