There's other problems with this idea of cacheing for CVS in general.

Think about :pserver: repositories for a minute. They aren't available
for symbolic links to access, so you pretty much have to copy the files
to the working directories. This might not be an issue in "company 
mode" but it certainly is in "open source mode".

BTW, I agree with your estimation of open source mode verses company
mode but this might be another reason that open source is getting so
popular! $6/GB verses $600/GB is a bit of a no brainer. Certainly your
repository needs to be backed up but maybe your working files don't, so
long as you check stuff in relatively frequently. 

(I can hear the "but we only check good stuff in" comments coming
already! :) )
