When sending or retrieving data using SSH, Git does compression for you. Mercurial does not automatically do compression.  If you are using Mercurial, you should enable SSH compression as it can speed up things drastically, in some cases. To enable compression for Mercurial, do the following:

  1. Start the TortoiseHg Workbench.
  2. Select File > Settings.
  3. Make sure you have the global settings tab selected.
  4. Press Edit File.

  5. Add the following line to the UI section:

    ssh = "TortoisePlink.exe" -ssh -2 -batch -C

    When you are done the file should look similar to the following:

    [ui]
# Name data to appear in commits
username = Emma Paris <emmap1@atlassian.com>
ssh = "C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\TortoisePlink.exe" -ssh -2 -batch -C
  6. Press Save to store your settings and close the file.
  7. Press OK to close the settings dialog.
