The commit finishes in the repository, creating revision XXX. Then,
if a post-commit hook exists, the program is fork()ed and passed the
newly created revision number.

The new 1-2 second delay you're seeing is probably the time it takes
to fork() a child process and wait for the child process to die. If
you don't want the parent process to wait for everything in your hook
script to return, try backgrounding (&) the commands in the script.
