I agree, but only to the extent that this is not outrageous: I've got
a repository of 27MB (CVS) which explodes to around 500MB (disk use)
in Subversion. When you're trying to sell a system to die hard CVS
users, this becomes a loosing argument: Subversion will probably be
another resource hog, while CVS is really "simple".

BTW: Do we have that many CPU speed problems? I thought our speed
issues are with I/O (at least client side).

Bye,

Erik.
