I don't expect that this would be an issue for Python.

Right.

2. I initially tried to conver our entire repository, including all branches. This would have taken days. I finally decided to just convert our trunk, which took several hours. The main time sink was in the load step of the conversion process.

I suspect that much of the time hit was due to the Berkely DB back end. I think I've heard that the file-system-based back end is much faster in general.

Dunno. For the Python CVS (which translates into some 40,000 revisions), on the machine which I was originally using (1GHz Pentium), conversion took 7h. On my current workstation, it takes a little over an hour.
