bzr wins a performance test

[Bryan O'Sullivan]

bzr recently switched repository formats (again), and is now using a
git-style pack.  An initial commit to a large, new bzr repo takes about
half the disk space of a comparable hg repo, and is consequently faster
on machines with reduced disk bandwidth.  Memory consumption is much
higher than hg.

Unlike git (so far), bzr repacks automatically.  I haven't checked to
see what performance impact that has.  It's still slower at other
operations that I've tried.

Interesting.
