It's not using cvs co, it's using the rcs 'co' command. I will probably fix it to just generate the files directly as that will be a lot faster. If there was a git command to create blobs directly from file contents, it would be faster still as I could create all of the blobs for a particular file in one pass and then just build trees in the index out of those.
