hg operations are gonna take as long or longer than builds once we implement caching on windows. According to glandium's stats, hg unbundling only happens on ~3% of the builds, but it does lead to some surprisingly-slow build times.

Simply zipping up the whole repo ends in a 3x speed up, switching to gzip bundles is a 1.4x speedup. Lets swap to gzip bundles asap(or just hg clone --uncompressed on windows which would be fastest)

Switching to gzip is easy. We'll need to regenerate the bundles (see https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/Merge_Duty/Steps#Create_new_hg_bundles)

zipping .hg would require changes in hg-tool.py

Regenerated the bundles.

Any reason to keep this open? We can pursue other options in another bug another time.

Summary: hg bundles suck → use gzip compression for hg bundles
23 minutes to do an unbundle from a gzipped bundle and 11:20 to unzip?! My computer can do a gzip unbundle in 8 minutes. And 4 of those should go away with bundle2 (I'd like to add cache data into bundles so clients don't need to regenerate it).
