nlm() vs. nls()

Dear R-experts!

I've been using nls() for a while for fitting my data, approx 10,000
points long.  Now, I have to use low-level minimizing functions to get
more control on fitting process, so I tried nlm().  And, the fitting
process became *much* more slower!

The question is: why? why nls() works faster?

Thank you very much!
Timur.
