[darcs-devel] performance measurements of "darcs get", "hg clone", and "rsync -r"

No, I haven't.  Now that I think about it, my not-so-good reason is  
that simply that it doesn't set _darcs/prefs/defaultrepo for me so  
that I can subsequently "darcs push".  In other words, it just seems  
natural to use ssh when you have the privilege of doing ssh to the  
server, because it has strictly better access options.

So yes, advising my users to use http on get is a good work-around, too.
