I dont know what hgpullsvn is (a script of yours?). But a typical mirror is pretty fast to sync, especially if both repositories are local (same hard disk or at least same computer). The initial import can take some time, mainly because of svn (not hg). I have a local mirror here (only for gcc trunk, and only starting at rev 156000) and a warm sync (just after a sync was done, there's nothing to actually sync, this measures the overhead) takes 0.628u 0.164s 0:07.48 I think 99% of this is spent in network communication between my computer and gcc svn server. ++ Thomas
