5) Are CVS repository and temp directories set on the same disks? Moving 
the temp folder to another disk may help to reduce head "trashing".

Not on the same logical drive (temp is on c:, repository on d:)

-----
The issue here is that if you separate the two working directories
to two *physical* disks then the disk head does not have to dance between
the two locations as the software accesses one or the other. The disk
heads on each drive stay put on the same spot all through. Enhances the
preformance.

Same discussion is done for SQL-Server where the database and log files
should be located on different *physical* drives for best performance.
