There's not a lot in it. Besides, I can't imagine how cvs(1) is going to be that performance critical. Exactly how often do you check files in and out during the development process? With CVS the security considerations are probably more important. pserver is clearly the best for untrusted users --- so long as you take note of the `Security considerations with password authentication' node in the CVS info pages (http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Commands/cvs/cvs_29.html#SEC30, http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Commands/cvs/cvs_31.html#SEC32) However, if you trust your users enough to export NFS directories to them, then running CVS over NFS won't add any extra security hurdles and it may be a tad more convenient.
