I use pull (to local repository) and update (working directory) 
separately in the following script (pull.bat), based on either the 
devguide or what TortoiseHg uses.  /35 and /27 are shares.

hg --repository .\36 pull --verbose --config ui.merge=internal:merge 
ssh://hg@hg.python.org/cpython
hg --repository .\36 update --verbose
hg --repository .\35 update --verbose
hg --repository .\27 update --verbose

I have run the above (or earlier versions) perhaps 100s of times and 
cannot remember anything like that.  The pull output just now is

pulling from ssh://hg@hg.python.org/cpython
searching for changes
all local heads known remotely
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 70 changesets with 185 changes to 126 files

'adding changesets' is very quickly (.1 second?, or less?) followed by 
'adding manifests' and 'adding file changes'.  Even a full second delay 
after 'adding changesets' would be unusual.  The most substantial  delay 
is the download time before the last line is printed.  Total time: about 
5 seconds, normal for this many pulls.

Something is definitely 'locked up'.

For me, even less for the changes above.
