I just checked and the * vs. ** works fine:
If you put just one star, mercurial will only look at one level of 
directory for repositories (well, except for the .hg/patch). If you put 
** in your config file, then mercurial will look at every possible 
directory to list all the nested repositories. In this case, it is 
*strongly* suggested to update the repositories to null.

  I then suspect that your slowdown comes from self inspection of the 
repository and not from the listing of the available repositories. 
Somewhere a part of the code might be doing something like a `hg status` 
(which at first glance doesn't seems like being needed). Would you care 
about trying to bisect to the faulting revision ?

BTW, you should be able to reproduce it with hg serve if you serve the 
one not updated to null (or with --hgweb-config).

Good luck !

Benoit
