Slow hgweb.cgi

Good morning everyone.

Unfortunatly http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832161 is not our problem. We
have WebClient disabled on that Win2003 Server. Our sysadmin further
explained me that they have a huge ssd raid backend powered by fibre optic
cables. So throughput should not be a problem at all.

Now I'm going to try moving the repository from samba into the virtual
machine to see if the slow performance is still there without samba. At
least we would be able to either blame or praise smb/cifs.
