Did you try issuing several Mercurial commands?

My experience with IronPython was, that the call of the first script  
was REALLY slow but
consecutive calls of Python scripts ran with a comparable speed to  
CPython.
I don't know for how long this "caching effect" keeps up.
It is to my understanding based at least partially in the overhead  
necessary to initialize
the DLR.
