I think your speculation is unwarranted.  I cvsup daily (via a cron job)
and updating OpenBSD-src and OpenBSD-ports took about 15 minutes last
night.  Granted, I'm only 50 ms from cvsup.usa.openbsd.org and I've got
60 kbyte/sec bandwidth available over my DSL, but even so I can't
imagine CVSUp taking more than an hour under the worst conditions, and
if you do it from a cron job it shouldn't affect you much.  Just find a
close host to grab from.

Besides, CVSUp is supposed to be "rsync, but handle CVS files
specially" if I interpret the man page right.
