Daylight saving time makes hg slow until 'hg stat' is done (windows bug?)

Just noticed something curious.
Right after the daylight saving time adjustment all hg operations became
very noticably slower. On my repo of 30,000+ files say 'hg update' of 1
changed file took over 10 min instead of usual 2 sec.
I believe this is because timestamps of checked out files somehow got out of
sync with the ones recorded in .hg.
The speed only got back to norm after I did 'hg stat.
I wonder why other commands like 'hg update', which effectively do 'hg stat'
inside do not update the recordered timestamps.
