I'm not surprised that a normal clone would be slow in this situation.
Assuming your large files never change, I *am* surprised that subsequent
pulls would be slow.

Do you have the ability to serve the repo that shows poor performance using
"hg serve"? If so, it would be helpful to "hg serve --profile", do a pull
from a client, then stop the server and share the profile dump.
