In my experience, SmartCVS is faster than Eclipse (and it's Java too!),
though any CVS client will be very slow compared to a non-CVS file browser
because of the amount of metadata it has to deal with.  Couple that with the
fact that CVS's network access isn't particularly optimized, and you're
stuck with some delays you just can't avoid.
