It seems that darcs gets increasingly slow in the following setting:

There are two repositories, A and B. Every time when a new file
is added into A, it gets listed in some index files. These index
files have been deleted from B. Now, when you pull changes from A,
it recreates these index files in the working copy, to indicate
conflict. The conflict is, of course, resolved by removing
these files again. It thus happens that a new removal is recorded.
Interestingly, these removals pile up in the merger patches, and
darcs slowly becomes slower and slower at pulls.

I'm not sure if this should be classified as a bug... whether
it is something that can be worked around in darcs or whether
it is something so inherent to its working that it can not be
done. It does make darcs quite unusable in certain situations, 
though.
