You'll probably be just fine.  CVSNT server doesn't use any resources 
when users aren't accessing it.  Make sure you have plenty of RAM (the 
biggest factor to performance in a shared application environment). 
Also make sure you disable AV real-time virus scans on the CVSNT 
repository and temp directories since that can kill server performance.
