CVS does real tagging and not the "it's really a directory copy" crap
that Subversion does. However, Subversion takes less than a second to
tag, and tagging in CVS means each and every file must be tagged. That
can take a while. If you do continuous builds, and tagging in part of
a build, it could make a five minute build take 15 minutes.

Truthfully, tagging in Subversion isn't necessary because of the
revision numbers. Unless a site I work with really wants build tags, I
simply don't bother with them. Only production releases are tagged.
Everything else is done by Subversion revision number.
