Sean, 7 minutes doesn't sound bad. Keep in mind that with Hg, the whole repository is being cloned to your computer - all active (and inactive) branches, all history, etc. The up-side is that after this initial clone, subsequent pulls are pretty quick and all other operations are local and super fast (log, blame, etc.)
