Same here.

On the gcc-3.1 branch, I'm approaching the situation where cvs update
takes longer than bootstrapping the compiler (with C and C++ frontends).

Overseers, is there anything we can do?

I noticed that we have more anoncvs processes running than authenticated
users; is there any way we could find out which CVS modules these
anonymous users currently access? (If it's gcc, we could see whether
we can simply disable anoncvs access to the gcc module.)
