This is usually a permissions/cache issue. Mercurial keeps caches of tags and
branches. If they don't exist or are invalid, they're reconstructed from scratch
on demand and then written to disk. If they can't be written (for instance
because your webserver doesn't have write permission to the cache files), then 
it happens on every request. For large repos, this can take a while.

You should test performance against "hg serve" to rule out configuration
problems of your web server.
