FYI, I've often found that tunneling CVS over SSH is substantially faster than NFS. This appears to be a property of CVS doing some sort of explicit pipelining, whereas with NFS, it spends a lot of time blocked on synchronous stat() operations against the CVS repository. Of course, last time I used CVS over NFS seriously was on 10mbps ethernet, so this well be a non-event with gigabit. :-) Setting up the SSH connection is slightly more expensive, but the reduced apparent latency makes a big difference.
