It got the conversion running, and for the small part of the repository it 
worked beautifully. 


When I tried to convert the main repository, I ran into another problem 
though: My system ran out of memory and once cvsps couldn't get more memory, 
it grew extremely slow while still in rlog gathering mode. 

Virtual memory consumption was at 2.3 GiB, reserved memory at 1.4 to 1.7 GiB, 
and I had to stop it after 3 days to be able to work with my computer again (I 
only have 2GiB of physical memory). 

Is there room for reducing the memory footprint, or is it already optimized to 
the maximum (so that it just needs to manage that much data)? 

Best wishes, 
Arne

PS: Before it ran out of memory, the conversion seemed to go smoothly.
