Believe me, any VCS will be slow once you throw enough files at it. I've

Sure, you can make anything slow if you try hard enough. But if 'hg status' is that slow, you won't try to use vc-diff at all in that repository, will you? Then the sync vs async question is moot.
And there's a difference in that you'd often prefer not to wait for the status operation to finish, but the user has to invoke vc-diff explicitly. It's not like they're going to switch to another task while waiting for the asynchronous result, right?
