Not in my instance, but there is a new module to allow CVS commit 
messages to be posted to bug reports with matching bug ID's (I think 
that's what it does, not sure).

Performance isn't usually that easy to answer -- it depends on a lot of 
factors.  I have about a dozen developers using my prod CVS server and 
it shares a machine with SQLServer, MySQL, and IIS running some internal 
apps + Mantis + ViewCVS.  It's no problem for us, but the server has 
lots of memory and plenty of % idle time.
