   1) Teach a beginner how to use baz or tla. See how long it takes.

Took me two days.  And now that Emacs supports commiting and stuff for
tla, it makes it even easier.

   2) Run "baz status" in a large tree. See how long it takes.

A long time (this is a import of gcc 4.0.1), but how often do you need
to know the status of the _whole_ tree?  I seldom do.  See below..

   In both cases, most other modern RCS beat GNU Arch by an order of
   magnitude.

I disagree with the first case, the second is something that I find
irrelevant, yes it might be nice if it took 2 seconds to finish on a
huge tree, but then so would doing a commit on a huge tree.  What
would be nice is to get the status of a selection of files (one or
more) and have that take little time, since that is the most common
case from my experience.
