'cvs annotate' is relatively quick.
For SCCS you can edit the s. file (provided it is accessible).
SVN has to do diffs between all the versions it has lurking.
NetBSD (which could have the largest anoncvs server that is publically
accessible) has some fixes to cvs to significantly decrease the server
load. One or two people have suggested moving that to SVN, but it
isn't at all clear that SVN could handle a repository of that size.
