Why is CVS server so slow?

Are you both referring to the same server? I've noticed that
anoncvs.postgresql.org (66.98.251.159) has been slow for a couple
of days -- it just took over five minutes to do a cvs update of
HEAD where it usually takes thirty seconds or less.

Marc's been building the 8.1.4 et. al. releases.

Yeah, I was about to say the same. The master CVS server has been OK
(not great, but OK) for the last week or so; but I believe the folks
complaining are using anoncvs.

Anyone noticing any network issues? I just looked over the server itself,
swapping a *little* bit, but vmstat shows the disks aren't busy ... and
nothing unusual taking up CPU on the server itself ...

Err, have you read your emails from Magnus yet today? They might explain
a thing or two.

anoncvs is on svr4, right? It's been dead slow due to spam getting
trapped in a loop because of configuration errors (see other mails with
details on what we need to do to fix that).
