It seems to me that our SCM system feature requirements are extremely
limited. We hardly ever tag or branch, let alone do merging between
branches or anything resembling changeset management.

I think CVS amply provides the features we need. It's simple and robust.
It's far from perfect, but as Michael says - It's the devil we know.

I don't believe changing SCM will make any significant difference to the 
problems that we appear to have, except possibly on a very short term. 
Even in the unlikely case that some SCM system is twice(four/ten/... 
times) as fast as CVS the problem we have will resurface if/when the 
user base grows accordingly.

Unless there happens to be an SCM system that is just incredibly more 
efficient than CVS I also think that we would make a change for the 
wrong reason. Changing SCM system should IMO be done only if we 
want/need particular features not available in CVS.

In the unfortunate case that it is concluded that we want to switch away 
from CVS I hope it will be to git. Not because I know it from personal 
experience, but simply because it is used by linux and xorg, which are 
two projects I respect.
