Two stabs in the dark:
- Are you on a branch, with large files and/or many revisions
between head of branch and head of trunk? Many operations in
CVS take longer under such circumstances, because of the way
revisions are stored in the ,v file (trunk as reverse deltas
from the head; branches as forward deltas from the branch
point. See rcsfile(5)).
- Does your slow project have a much larger directory:file
ratio than your other projects? If so, it could be that
locking overhead is dominating the total update time in that
project, whereas in your other projects it's the useful work
of updating revisions that dominates. CVS's locking overhead
is proportional to the number of directories (not files)
being operated on.

It must be said that they would have sounded better if the singer
wouldn't throw his fellow band members to the ground and toss the
drum kit around during songs.
