Antoine managed to reduce the memory usage of Mercurial quite
drastically. Not sure which contributed most, but
a) hg was upgraded to 2.2
b) a patch was applied to hgweb which calls
   repo.invalidate/gc.collect after each request (IIUC)
c) reducing the memory consumption of our hglookup binary
   (which maps revision numbers to repositories)
d) improving the hgweb rejuvenation

With that, hg.p.o should be quite available and responsive;
if it isn't, please report the infrastructure list.

Martin
