I have now done some timed experiments:
- Connected a VPN tunnel to the server
- Command prompt in my sandbox
- cvs diff -r 1.12 support.pas
Result is in the command window in 14 seconds

-------

- Commanded a diff in WinCvs using its diff button on that same file
and revision
- After 17 seconds this showed up in the command window:

cvs -z9 update -p -r 1.12 support.pas (in directory
C:\Engineering\Projects\PC\AGIAdmin\)
===================================================================
Checking out support.pas
RCS:  D:/CVS/PC/AGIAdmin/support.pas,v
VERS: 1.12
***************

- But no diff result as yet
- After 2m50s the ExamDiff window popped up with the requested files!

------
- Commanded a diff in the WinCvs command window (same as on command
prompt):
- cvs diff -r 1.12 support.pas
- After 28 seconds the diff shows up in the WinCvs command window

------
Conclusion:
When I use the command prompt the speed is acceptable, basically the
same as earlier. But when I go through WinCvs the speed degradation is
extremely large! There must be some strange thing going on in WinCvs.
I can see that there is VPN traffic during the whole 2m50s that the
diff works, so there must be some activity that I can't figure out.

I don't really understand this question. What can I do to checek
whatever you want to know?
ping cvsserver on the command line works instantly.
ping -a 10.0.0.8 on the other hand returns after 16s with the name
resolved and then the ping traffic. Could this be an issue?
Should I change my cvsroot from :ntserver:cvsserver:/pc to
:ntserver:10.0.0.8:/pc ???
