The network activity isn't that great, really - CVS works well even over 
dialup links.  The client tells the server what versions it has (plus the 
contents of any edited files), and the server sends back any updates as 
required.  That's not a lot...  it'd be difficult to make it less (the client 
could send diffs, but that's about it).

As it's all text the -z options improve it a lot, too.
