A script to generate nasty diff worst-case scenarios:
$ cat > s.py <<EOF

> x += 1
> print(hex(x))
> EOF
$ hg init a
$ cd a
Check in a big file:
$ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a
$ hg ci -qAm0
Modify it:
$ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a
Time a check-in, should never take more than 10 seconds user time:
$ hg ci --time -m1 --config worker.enabled=no
