I agree. I just saw that Glenn started looking into it.

No, unfortunately it is not. I tested it on ArchLinux with the latest
emacs trunk and bzr 2.3.0 and it behaves exactly the same.

I did some testing with elp on Windows.

Test case: Instrument functions with `vc-' prefix with
elp-instrument-package.  Modified BUGS in the trunk root. C-x v v to
commit with buffer asking to enter commit message.  C-x k to kill buffer
and abort commit.  Get results with elp-results.

1. Using stock vc-bzr.el from the trunk.

Result:
vc-bzr-state-heuristic     3     0.174            0.0579999999
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^

2. Using modified vc-bzr.el forcing vc-bzr-state-heuristic function to use
vc-bzr-state function instead of its own logic.

Result:
vc-bzr-state-heuristic     3     1.5230000000     0.5076666666
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Roughly an order of 10 difference, but 0.5s is not really `excruciatingly
slow' in my book.
