In attacking bug #777, I noticed that when darcs creates a patch bundle, it tries to take an SHA-1 hash of al the bundle text. When you do a "darcs put" with a big repository, the bundle is too big to fit in your RAM, so the machine grinds to a swapping halt. Could something similar also happen when you do a pull?
