[cvsnt] CVS tags and performance

[Edward Patterson]

Currently we have over 1600 tags on a very large module (585 MB) in our CVS repository. Is a lot of the file size due to the number of tags on it? Also, will having a large number of tags on a module decrease performance? If so, how does it decrease performance? We also have several (less then 10) branch tags on the same module. The branches are old, that is we cut a branch and let it die out, cut a branch and let it die out, etc.. Do these branch tags decrease performance as well?
