Slow hg status

[Alexander Kostikov]

Hi,

I'm trying to test Mercurial against a large enlistment 7.40Gb, 73k+ files,
8k+ folders. And some common operations take a lot of time to complete:

PS> hg status
A .pack
R .text
PS> (get-history -count 1 | % {((Get-Date $_.endexecutiontime)-(Get-Date
$_.startexecutiontime))}).TotalSeconds
1.8631863

hg status takes almost 2 seconds to complete. I understand that the
repository is large. But is there a way to speed up Mercurial? As far as I
know Mercurial spends most of the time in lstat. In Git there is option to
assume that part of repository is unchanged (git-update-index
--assume-unchanged<http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-update-index.html>).
Is there something similar in Mercurial?

Your sincerely,
Alexander Kostikov
