On NFS with older sparc64 system: This give verbose and rather unusable output sadly $ cvs status 8m28.11s real 0m50.30s user 1m34.73s system the more usable update with no changes command is slightly faster $ cvs -Q -n update 7m43.29s real 0m30.20s user 1m29.89s system though I notice that it's not suppressing the cvs server: New directory as I expected it too but that's a bug with a different versioning software .... :P In summary cvs is about 3-4 minutes faster for equivalent operation on the entire openbsd tree on an older sparc64 processor (on nfs) than got in it's current incarnation. -- Ted Bullock
