The (admittedly miniscule) data point I offered was that on an old-ish
machine with a decent amount of memory, not particularly fast disk (
but using ZFS ) and with reliable and reasonably fast connection it
appears to work in a normal time frame, at least on -current amd64,
and not stretch to many hours of waiting. But then, I'm pretty sure
this is well known - otherwise nobody would have considered Mercurial.

That aside, it seems to me ZFS on NetBSD has come to a rather useful
state nowadays - I remember when extracting a tar archive into ZFS
regularly crashed...
