RE: CVS slooowwww over SSH???

[Christopher.Fouts]

No binary files at all, in fact. I have about 50 or so ASCII
files, but yes with lots of history data. I'm trying to see if
this is purely SSH-related (not SSH itself but maybe the way
we've installed it) or CVS/SSH related. I'll try the -z option.
Thanks!
