why is CVS so slow

[Michael Schiestl]

Hello,

I am using the latest version of CVSNT in combination with TortoiseCVS in my 
100Mbit LAN. My Computers are quite up-to-date (~2Ghz, 512MB RAM). Still, 
CVS operations are really slow (add, commit, update,...). I can see no 
reason for that. The CPU usage is at about 10%-20% on both - client and 
server - computers. Same with the network utilisation which is around 5%.

Where the hell is the bottleneck? Is there a way to make CVS faster?

Greetings,
Michael
