He says he's testing bzr 1.5.  It's now at version 1.12.

Timing results from April 2007?  It says "We did most of these tests
with the bzr version available at the time, 0.14"

It's known and accepted that bzr's performance compared badly amongst
its peers in the past.  But pointing back to old results doesn't give us
much information about how it is *now*.  And personally, I don't find
its performance a chore.

Cheers,


Ralph.
