Ah, much better, thank you. Performance is now back to what it should be, 
perhaps even 10-15% faster than 1.2.

I had observed my unpatched hg-1.3 doing incredible numbers of 1-byte read() 
calls. This is consistent with the change in fce065538bcf, which left bufsize 
at the default, resulting in (according to pydoc subprocess) unbuffered I/O. 
I'm curious as to why this didn't occur on Linux though.
