CVS very slow-both remotely and locally

[Jeeva Sarma]

Hi

>From the past few days, our cvs has become very slow. 
Using remotely, the client takes atleast 2 minutes
before messages begin to appear and even then it is
very slow. Even from the same machine where the server
runs, it is very slow.It will stop while updating/co
for a long time before continuing. Also I noticed that
whenever a cvs process is actively running(or hanging
as it happens often), the server machine becomes very
slow in responding to other commands as well.(even ls
takes a long time)
Our repository is about 45mb in size, when checked
out. Previously it used to be over 90mb,but after cvs
removing several files not required, the current
checked out size is 45mb.

My cvs server is 1.11.2 on Unix.
Clients are 1.11.4 on windows/linux.

Any suggestions how to improve the performance?

Thanks,
Jeeva Sarma
