To follow up, the rcs command is "-o<revisions>", and the source to rcs 
shows it recomputes delta trees, and actually removes the revisions 
from the file.
So if we could do this (cvs admin or whatever), and reduce the number of 
branches we have around, i would imagine that would bring our speed back 
up.
