If you can make CVS verbose in these situations and send me the log, we 
might find out the problem. It looks like the machine is overloaded, but 
anyway CVS should not belong that way in such a case.

There was a major bottleneck wich was solved by Loic Dachary this 
summer. Then since a week we have been experiencing troubles (server 
almost halting). Maybe you suffered from that.

I don't have enough information and in a sufficient long span to really 
draw conclusions. Besides that we need more probes and measure 
recordings. For instance now I don't know if we should care more about 
machine load or bandwidth. Comments from other 'old' Savannah hackers 
are warmly welcome...
