Yes, I think your diagnosis is correct. There is not much that can
be done about it any time soon in the repository. The removed files
and directories need to remain, or else people's cvs update operations
will fail.
You might be able to get your performance back by creating a "refuse"
file with patterns that match the files and directories that are no
longer used. See cvsup(1) and the FAQ at:
http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/
for more details on refuse files.
