You lose very much in performance if you run cvs "locally" over a networked
filesystem, instead of a client server.  Believe me, I got a change from
about 25 minuter to between 5 and 8 seconds by switching from a smb-mount to
ssh-client/server.  Security-wise though, I don't know that much about it...
