I've noticed that cloning repo via ssh is much slower than through http regardless if it is from my own servers or BitBucket. Much in my case equals to 10 seconds from http vs. more than 2 minutes with ssh on the same BitBucket repository.
I'm using Mercurial on Windows (TortoiseHg 1.5, Mercurial 1.7). Both tests were done from GUI as well as from CLI.
Is it a common "issue" or I'm doing something wrong?
