Mercurial is slow on Macs on certain networks, except to altssh on port 443 (BB-9450)

      Hg pull, push, incoming and outgoing, etc. commands regularly take around a minute to complete on our private and paid for company repos (account: exmachina).

      The repos I use are generally not large (around 10MB).

      There seems to be some sort of caching involved as often, after a few successive commands the speed improves. At such a time the performance can reach a normal level where commands only take a couple of seconds to complete.

      I use https to access the repos.

      Strangely, when I access the same repos through the web interface I do not experience similar lag.

      Here's a traceroute (I've done a few and haven't seen any noticeable spikes in those):
