Summary: painfully slow

Initial Comment:
Thanks for a terrific application.

Mercurial is slow to deliver status for large repositories. Using Tortoise HG 
this pain is felt in surprising places. While I was traversing my third party 
library I found traversing up in the directory hierarchy was very slow. If I 
went in and renamed .hg to sv_hg, all was speedy again.

It would be a good thing if Mercurial HG were to decouple or make assynchronous 
the display of mercurial status with directory traversal.

In other words, can't we have regular explorer and then, when hg status gets 
back, the icons are updated?

Again, thanks for all your wonderful work.

Tom Howland

Explorer does not have async mode on overlay icons extension. But I have
done some work over last two days to make overlay icons _appears_ to be
asynchronous.

With this the overlay icons shows up a bit slowly on large repo, but user
can continue to navigate inside the Explorer window, which is a big plus.
I've tested with netbeans repository of about 16K files. Overall I am
pretty happy with the responsiveness of the Explorer windows.

There are still work to do, but it's looking fairly promising.

I'm thinking we should add a user-wide configurable like this:

[tortoisehg]
enable_overlay = explorer.exe, totalcommander.exe, myapp.exe

and just ignore overlay requests from applications not in this list.
This is on top of whatever performance improvements are being cooked up.

I forgot to mention -- I was traversing the directories in the eclipse for
adding external jars to my build path -- that was why I was surprised that
mecurial hg was affecting me.
