So you mean that the whole tree structure has to be swapped in to
access a single directory or file? Is that the web server interface of
bazaar that has this kind of problem?

I would guess that the problem is within bazaar (because of
optimizations perhaps have been made against single goals there, but
this is just my guess). In that case the cure would be caching the
tree structure.
