Mercurial 1.1 released! - slow http access

I've installed mercurial-1.1 on a centos 4.7 box that provides access
to repos via both http & ssh.

[I've grabbed mercurial srpm from fedora-koji and rebuilt on this machine]

I'm noticing the following:
- ssh access is fine.
- However http access is slow.

Each http access takes 5 sec or so. I see the python process spawned
by apache taking arround that much time - with arround 100% cpu usage.

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 2179 apache    25   0 10320 7284 2172 R 99.1  0.7   0:04.20 python

The http access could be via the web browser - or via 'hg pull' with a
http:// URL.

Any idea why this happens? This issue goes away if I revert to
mercurial-1.0.2

[I might revert back to mercurial-1.0.2 pretty soon on this box..]

thanks,
Satish
