There can be, because of the way CVS stores its deltas. To get to the 
tip of a branch, CVS starts with the head of the trunk, applies all 
deltas back to the branch point, then applies all deltas forward along 
the branch. If the trunk and/or branch(es) are long, then retrieving a 
file can be relatively expensive.
