No. You still have to launch the Python process per command, which is "extremely" slow (relative to C programs). I air-quote extremely because the difference for a single command is small relative to human time, but it matters for automation that invokes many commands.
This post is from 2018, and maybe Hg's frontend is written in C or Rust now (I don't follow its development). But if it is still a Python-driven runtime, the same basic criticisms apply:
