We had a "battle" at the kernel summit, Linus driving git, Matt driving hg. It was fun to watch, as they each asked the other to try an operation, and compared speed and ease of use. I would not say that is was particularly scientifically measured, but the main impression I got from it, is that git is good for reviewing code and deciding what get's included, hg is better for the source code developer. I think both git and hg were as fast as CVS or SVN is now. For example, hg has all the performance critical stuff written in C anyway! E.g. 3 way diff.
