I have spotted the biggest bottleneck in "bdiff.c". Actually it was
pretty easy to find after I recompiled the python interpreter and
mercurial for profiling.

In "bdiff.c" function "equatelines" allocates the minimum hash table
size, which can lead to tons of collisions. I introduced an
"overcommit" factor of 16, this is, I allocate 16 times more memory
than the minimum value. Overcommiting 128 times does not improve the
performance over the 16-times case.

#!/bin/sh

mkdir a
cd a
hg init
echo foo > b
hg add b
hg ci -m "b" -d "1000000 0"

chmod -w .hg/store

cd ..

hg clone a b

chmod +w a/.hg/store # let test clean up

cd b
hg verify
