Which latest version would that be?  Including build number.

That is not large.

> We use the pserver protocol to connect.

Not recommended, use sspi or ssh (or sserver).

Probably an eclipse problem.  Browse with the command line or WorkspaceViewer (included in CVSNT) and find out if there is a performance problem there first.  If the command line is slow (eg: "cvs ls") then do a trace "cvs -ttt ls" and each step is timestamped - look for which steps are slow and e-mail the info through.

Note: things like enabling network compression, anti virus on the server and/or the client and disks and network can all vary performance greatly.
