Yes, it's slow.  I will file a bug against it.

Yes, there is: don't.  As I already wrote, there's no need for you to
do this translation at all.  It is enough to provide the bzr
revision-id that corresponds to each git sha1.  Any Emacs developer
who wants to see the details of the revision can use the revision-id
directly, or convert it to revno if she wants.  No need for your
scripts to do that.

Would that solve the problem?
