cvs status sends every file to server. slow performance

[address@hidden]

Hi, when using cvs status on a project I receive the following

O:\CobEntw\X\A>cvs -t status
   -> Tracelevel set to 1.  PID is 2540
   -> Session ID is 9ec44c0ceb354e4
   -> main loop with CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:2402/cvsmat/cvsroot
   -> Sending file 'n.bat' to server
   -> Sending file 'update.bat' to server
   -> Sending file 'LTRFCBL.CPY' to server
   -> Sending file 'LTRFID.CPY' to server
   -> Sending file 'LTS.gs' to server
 cvs [status aborted]: received interrupt signal

So each file is sended back to the cvs Server.

This takes a long time until all files are checked. The files in this
 directory are automatically checked out on a unix machine, transferred

 to dos and then copied to that directory.

On a directory that is not modified. I receive the following output
 that is ok.

C:\dummy\A>cvs -t status
   -> Tracelevel set to 1.  PID is 168
   -> Session ID is a844c0cd4f505a
   -> main loop with CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:2402/cvsmat/cvsroot

Can somebody explain me the reason for the "file sending". I know I
 should not play with the files. But our Users want an automatic update

 on this dir uppon each commit. 
 
Kind regards
