I did quite a few resource usage comparisions back on the days before
the transition to bzr. They were posted on the bzr ml. The response from
the developers was "bzr is fast enough and we wont devote more time to
performance enhancements." However, the data was enough motivation for
one or two developers to tweak some parts of bzr, with visible
results. The impression I got is that further improvements would be very
hard to achieve.
