I hope this is going to be fast. One of the reasons I chose Hg over Bzr for another project was that the Bzr GUI tools which are written using Qt are much slower, particularly when starting. A cold start of Bazaar Explorer takes around 7 seconds on a new fast machine compared with under a second to launch Hg Repository Explorer. Warm starts and internal actions are better but the Hg GUI tools are still much smoother than Bzr's. This slowness is quite common for Qt applications and I think is because of the large set of DLLs that are loaded. Qt Creator is better at around 4 seconds for a cold launch but, naturally, it doesn't matter for an environment which you use for an extended period like Qt Creator. It does matter for a VCS tool that you may invoke hundreds of times in a day.
