Speaking from my own experience, we're talking about, at most, maybe a 5% speed penalty in some operations; most others happen instantly on both systems. Can you provide a concrete example where Mercurial's noticeably slower than Git at the same operation? Edit in response to above edit: those stats are for Mercurial 0.4 through 0.9.5. The current version is Mercurial 1.3.1. Seeing as there have been piles of speedups, including several that fell out from Python modules getting rewritten in C, I find that page highly dubious.
