Jeez, how often do you loose your connection?  A CVSup update
shouldn't take more than 10 minutes or so over 28.8 (last i remeber).

Of you mean resuming a checkout, CVSup seems to pick up where it 
left off mighty quick.

However, you can mess with your supfile and break up the larger
collections into smaller ones.

try breaking src-all into src-sys, src-lib, etc...
