Ignore symbolic links?

That command added 3000 symbolic link names to the .hgignore
file, which does help weed out the noise from an "hg status"
command.  However, hg is now very slow:

  $ mv .hgignore hgignore
  $ time hg status > o1

  real    0m1.877s
  user    0m1.540s
  sys     0m0.294s

  $ mv hgignore .hgignore
  $ time hg status > o2

  real    0m21.183s
  user    0m20.978s
  sys     0m0.197s

  $ wc o1 o2
     16688   33376  813821 o1
       752    1504   37182 o2

Any advice on speeding up hg?
