It would, but not so fast as git. Though I'd say, it's performance is
"acceptable" (like svn), when process of converting from git (very long) will
be finished (in fact, developers of Fossil made some changes to architecture
when it was first discovered on NetBSD repositories - some of which are still
available in Fossil). See e.g. thread for recent fbsd ports 
https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/8fb9fce402 or
