Is this more related to the tortoise than the dialogs? The dialogs aren't even 
remotely what i would call slow on even my atom powered notebook under winxp 
but the overlays are.

Nor is it slow on my ancient dell p4 machine.

I wonder if its only a set of dialogs in particular that your talking about or 
all of them?

Not to try and negate your troubles, its just what i've seen.

Also as point of data, when my work team was using
CVS they would keep WinCVS open all the time.

When I use THg, I use it from the command line.
When I first started using THg (around 0.4)
I would try to keep the windows open all the time
     (because of the delay it took to
      to open "on demand")
but they aren't written to handle that usage.
They are written to get in and get out.

This is why I had such hope for the
GSoC project last summer that was going
to provide a WinCVS-like experience.

To be clear, I still see value in the
existing Right-Click "on demand" model,
and my work group has been willing to put
up with the performance hit and lack of
unified WinCVS experience because while the
GUI might be slower than WinCVS, the
underlying operations are MUCH faster.

IMHO THg needs to solve the performance
issues before 1.0. How that fits into
the other pre-1.0 priorities is not
very clear to me, nor is it clear
where it should fit in...

Just my buck-two-fitty,
