You have to put this into perspective with what they are replacing. You'd never get a submit done in less than 19 seconds using the old source depot tools anyways. When you work on projects this big that takes hours to compile and minutes to incremental compile - responsiveness just isn't something you get to have at scale.

This is mainly why I'm asking for data from Facebook. I've seen claims that their vcs operations (at least the most common ones) are near instant, but nothing official. It would appear that FB have solved the responsiveness problem with Mercurial but, again, no official data to back it up.
