That is only because one must go across the network to do 'cvs up'.
When are public CVSup servers going to be made available?  A bootstrap on
a fast machine takes 30 minutes.  It does not take anywhere near that
long to 'cvs up' GCC from a local repository.

For those not wanting a local copy of the repository, CVSup in "check out
mode" (gives same results as 'cvs co' or 'cvs up' is 4x faster than
using CVS directly).
