Well, the Bazaar hackers always appreciate well-filed bugs —
particularly those that include profiling information. And since
pretty much every release includes performance improvements, it's
worth filing a bug so you get notified when we fix *that* speed
problem. (Like most other complex applications, Bazaar's got a few of
them.)

Also, your particular bug interests me. :)
