I cannot say anything about the performance, except in the case you have 
local changes which you did not 'check in' (or whatever it was in 
darcs-terms) before, darcs performs _very, very_ badly. I was not able 
to do an update of carpet with one day or runtime.

Not only due to this, but also the problem that the whole terminology 
and habbit is very different from cvs, which most of the people know, I 
would not like to have Cactus sitting in darcs. If you have problems 
with cvs, please have also a look at other possibilities, subversion 
would be an example.

just my 2ct, Frank
