cvs2svn conversion times

What sort of conversion time should I expect for cvs2svn (full
conversion, using rcs co)

I'm converting a repository with about 20000 files and 5000 folders
that would have had between 10000 and 15000 commits over 4 years.
The respoistory has around 250 tags and 100 branches. The physical
size of an export (not a working copy) is about 1.5GB. The repository
is about 6GB (though mainly due to a few significant binaries with
high-ish revision numbers).

conversion is being performed on a 'decent' spec machine (core2 E6600)
running CentOS (though the conversion is single-threaded so maybe it's
only half a decent spec machine)

After running across some, admittedly dated, emails noting running
times approaching 1 month I've come here, hat in hand, hoping for some
reassurance...

I'm aware the times will vary greatly but can anyone give any
reasonable confidence that the machine won't be grinding for week upon
week. It's going to be tough to migrate over with that kind of
processing time. Have many here used cvs2svn for their migration?
