I've only tried svn with the cvs2svn script.
Importing with history took ~8h on a 500Mhz box (which surprised me
because I had heard "it takes days"). Doing checkouts caused about the
same load as cvs, but I have no data points on multi-user behaviour. 

http://www.keltia.net/EuroBSDCon/slides.pdf has some performance data on
mercurial for FreeBSD, roughly the same size as the Gentoo cvs
repositories.
