Does anyone have any benchmarks against CVS?

It seems to be common knowledge that git is a heck of a lot faster than CVS at most operations, but I'd like to do a little evangelizing and I can't seem to find a benchmark to support that claim.

Am I just blind?

I could find a code base and measure myself, but perhaps someone who's been hacking on CVS converters already has a reasonable code base in both forms that could be used for testing?
