I have actually tried this, and it did help a little.  But switching 
from PATA to SATA made the biggest difference.  And if I had some kind 
of RAID, it would help enormously.

The src-cur (which I actually use myself) puts rather little extra 
overhead on the system.  It is like another stable branch.

The vast majority of the effort is spent on updating cvs-cur.  If I 
discovered that no-one wants this branch, that would be a huge saving of 
time.
