How had you not noticed how slow it is? For me, on average it takes
approximately 2.5sec to load a page. Red Hat Bugzilla takes approximately
15-20sec to load a page. This gets really bad when you consider the number
of pages you go through to get stuff done in the bugzilla. However, I
severely doubt Red Hat or the Fedora Project will allow the separation of
bug trackers at this time for the simple reason that Fedora bugs are often
tied to Red Hat bugs. All Red Hat people would have to do is tag a bug for
RHEL in addition to Fedora. This kind of bug tracking simplicity is
something I doubt they would be willing to give up.

In any case, it might be a better idea to move off of Bugzilla and to
something else. I would like to suggest Mantis Bug Tracker (
http://mantisbt.org). It is quite nice in my experience and it even has
scripts available to migrate from Bugzilla to MantisBT. In my experience, it
is closer to the average page load that I usually get than Bugzilla, taking
at most 5sec to load a page with it being less than 3sec most of the time.
