It is not that close, "cvs log" shows the whole change long for each
entry, not just a single line. For emacs we have very well written
change logs, and if you look at them, you actually want to see the
details. 
Is there a fast alternative that shows the whole entry, not just a
single line?

Also, is bzr status expected to be fast? 

bzr status FILENAME

takes 1.2 seconds on a slow machine and .4 seconds on a fast one. Both
numbers seem quite high.
