Remote CVS repository served off local disk of remote host (in this case,
the openafs source itself, from cvs.openafs.org) to sandboxes on the same
network:

Local disk:
date; cvs update -d .>&/dev/null; date
Thu Mar 21 16:53:00 EST 2002
Thu Mar 21 16:53:34 EST 2002

AFS:
date; cvs update -d .>&/dev/null; date
Thu Mar 21 16:58:38 EST 2002
Thu Mar 21 16:59:29 EST 2002

You may say this is meaningless, and you'd be right. You did one trial. I
did one trial. 34 seconds, versus 51 seconds.
