Have you factored out the relative inefficiency of cvs2svn (if that is indeed
how most people are converting their repositories)? I know that there are some
attempts to streamline the process, but that people with lots of branches and
tags were seeing [very] inefficient usage due to the way that cvs2svn was
structured (well, in fairness, also due to the way that CVS was designed too).

When I convert my primary CVS repository to SVN in a couple of weeks, I'll try
both vcp and cvs2svn as a comparison (don't really have time right now).
