What version of CVS?  On what OS?  What hardware?  How many 
modules/projects?  How many people?  How often do updates happen?  I 
have to say this is the first I've heard of these kinds of issues with 
CVS.  We've been running a CVS server for 3+ years without incident.  
The only issues we have had are the limitations of CVS itself, which we 
take care of by hand.

Subversion is a newer, more flexible system.  However, I would be 
concerned that the issues you have may not be with CVS but something 
else, which means that you might experience those same issues even if 
you use Subversion.

CVS.  Maybe eventually we'll migrate to Subversion.  But CVS does 
everything we need pretty well.
