Speed does matter, and it affects all systems, but i think the suckless codebases are small enough that there shouldn't be an apparent difference. > I see no point why git should be more Unix-like than mercurial.

The bloat you are talking about is mostly in small scripts that are layered above git core functionality. And mercurial does have many "bloat" and plugins in its core distribution as well. And i think every suckless-alarm-bell should ring when you merely can hear the word python ;)
