Identifying the use cases are important here.  For example, even if it were a lot slower, Mailman wouldn't care (I might care because it takes longer to run my test, but my users wouldn't).  But Bazaar or Mercurial users would care a lot.

Yeah, startup performance getting worse kinda sucks for command-line apps. And IIRC it's been getting worse over the past few releases...

Anyway, I think there was enough of a python3 port for Mercurial (from various GSoC students) that you can probably run some of the very simple commands (like hg parents or hg id), which should be enough for your purposes, right?

Cheers,
