After I run cvs init, I try to run cvs import. It appears to work
because it runs through the list of files. However, when I check that
the CVS directory exists in the working directory, it does not. Not
only that, but the first time I tried this, it took a bit of time.
After I removed the cvsroot stuff and tried init and import again, it
speeds through the process like it has a cache from the previous try.
What is going on? Thanks.

The manual
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs.html
can be quite helpful, at least when you know what you are looking for.
You were specifically looking for the following section
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_16.html#SEC140
which has this to say about creating admin directories in the directory you are importing from: "Note that import does not change the directory in which you invoke it. In particular, it does not set up that directory as a CVS working directory; if you want to work with the sources import them first and then check them out into a different directory".
