Two quotes interesting to us would be (comments about other known SCM):

"Chose Monotone, got confused, switched to Mercurial."

I don't know anything about Mercurial (so I don't know how they handle 
revisions,...), but as I started off with monotone, the hardest thing 
for me was to "think in hashes" and to deal with 40 Byte long revision 
numbers...

"Monotone is simply too slow to use, even on smallish trees on my dual 
amd64."

The obvious bottle-neck IMHO is pulling large repos, like the monotone 
one, as this takes far too long to do security checks there (as far as I 
can remember what Nathaniel once told me). This would be definitely a 
point for improvement. The other actions happen quite fast, and I have 
no dual machine.
