I started getting/looking at hg a few days ago, mainly at the source only so that I likely miss some things...

Hmm. I'll need to further read the hg source to see how they do it. I now switched to defaulting to use the hg changes for normal changesets and the full manifest for merges. That's a huge boost already. Your approach sounds even better... so that I'll use it. :)
