Yes, using Mercurial and NFS for ON is > prohibitively slow. With ssh, my experience (with a repo in > Broomfield) is that it's sluggish but faster than NFS would be. My experience working with ON is that I can pull the entirety of usr and usr/closed directly (SFBay -> Australia) in well under an hour. Any time I've needed to do the recommit dance across the Pacific it has taken quite an acceptable length of time. Then again, I've always been using Mercurial with ssh, since NFS across the Pacific has always been dog slow. Something to do with the speed of the carrier pigeon protocol, iirc.
