Package: mercurial
Version: 5.5.2-1
Severity: normal
Dear maintainer,
After the Debian switch to python3.9 by default, mercurial got a lot slower,
see the following tests in a small repository:
$ time python3.9 /usr/bin/hg status
real 0m0.403s
user 0m0.391s
sys 0m0.012s
$ time python3.9 /usr/bin/hg status
real 0m0.123s
user 0m0.114s
sys 0m0.008s
Even a simple "hg" command without parameters takes about 0.35 seconds to
show the help message.
As python3.9 is the default, now all mercurial invocations are slow.
Regards,
Daniel.
