Unfortunately there's no good way to avoid this. CVS discards a lot of information about each commit, and in order to reconstruct that information you have to view the repo as a whole. That's not really a problem though, since this is a one-time operation. If / when we decide to switch to SVN, we can easily find a machine with enough RAM to do the job.
