We were hosting both on an ESX VM and clones / pulls were done via SSH. OS was FreeBSD on both ends. Hookless.

Part of the reason for the move is that we wanted to take advantage of the corp-wide infrastructure of an Atlassian stash server hosted in the cloud and professionally maintained, so as to get away from maintaining our own repo.

But the speeds I quote above were for the initial phase of the conversion, when both repos ran on the same ESX VM and direct comparisons were meaningful. Now that its hosted professionally in the cloud, it seems even faster.

Note that I'm across ~2500 miles of VPN from the home office, and that surely has something to do with it.




Interesting...I've noticed mercurial can be a little slow at times, but never had a problem with that much pull lag. Could be an overloaded server maybe? Or just outside the scope of my experience.
