I don't really think it's going cause any problem. Mercurial 1.0
should be backward compatible with 0.9.5.

It's very much dependent on the size of repo you are browsing. The
delay is actually caused by the overlay icons extension in TortoiseHg.
The context menu should popup fairly quickly.

TortoiseHg owes a lot to Steve. Without him, the binary installer may
still be "under construction" right now.
