dump/load is quite fast, but dump format includes the full content
of each revision - piping to gzip befor storing is advised for big
trees.
dump format can easily used to distribute the tree by taking hourly
snaps, but not for distribution of checkouts as CVSup can do.
Unfortunatley general speed is still an issue.
Try to commit a very large diff and you wait forever if you are not
going out of memory bevor.
There are also obscure workdir problems from time to time which could
easily confuse the wide user base.
