I see. Good to know. (So, the sometimes quite long delays I have on my rather old 700 MHz PIII are actually due Python's execution of THG, followed by the manifest scanning, instead of Window's explorer overlays.) But still I could imagine that there might be a little gain if Windows would not have to identify possible Mercurial repositories in every folder displayed in its views. But still, probably it doesn't make a big difference since I have TortoiseCVS and TortoiseSVN installed as well... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list Tortoisehg-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
