Actually, I have been using Bazaar to work on Postr - 
http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/postr , which is a Python/Gtk+ - based 
Flickr Uploader, which is no where near the size of the Linux kernel, and it 
is noticeably slower than either git or Subversion. For example:

         if title:

Close to 2 seconds for a simple "bzr diff" operation.

All of this has made working with bzr very frustrating.
