Which hgweb/Mercurial version are you using? Also, I'm not sure about 
Python 2.6 support with older releases than Mercurial 1.6, especially 
since I've seen warnings emitted by Python 2.6 that can affect hgweb's 
operation.

I actually experience something which may be different with very recent 
hgweb versions (from the crew repository) and Apache 2.2 (using CGI) on 
Ubuntu 8.04 with Firefox 3.6 as a client: loading pages frequently hang, 
reloads cause parts of pages/responses to be sent to the browser (I see 
"slices" of responses, not necessarily from the beginning), three or 
four reloads can be necessary to get a proper response. I did consider 
that the problem may have something to do with the mercurial package for 
hgweb residing in a locally-built ("make local") installation, but I'm 
not ruling out some weird stuff with Ubuntu, either, although just about 
everything else running via Apache works, including older hgweb versions.

I suppose I'll have to do a bit more testing, perhaps with proper 
mercurial package installations (not "make local"), and report back. But 
I thought I'd mention that strange behaviour does happen and see if I've 
overlooked something that everyone else has already discussed.
