What kind of "refresh" message are you talking about? If it is a start-up "Loading repository" dialog, it can be avoided by disabling "Show Subrepos on Registory" option from "View" -> "Repogitory Registory Options" menu. https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issue/940/ Or if your repository is located on very slow network drive and most operations take a long time, try to disable file monitoring: https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issue/889/#comment-993231 > For example, I can imagine that changes to the following might trigger a > refresh: > > - .hg/hgrc > - personal mercurial.ini > - and any files included by those > > If that's true, how selective is the refresh?

We have few options to tune up refresh timing or target. > [*] in fact, 18 minutes and still counting, on a very fast PC... Huh? I've never experienced such latency even on a slow laptop PC and a network drive.
