Some of the time is naturally spent in scrolling the xterm I did this in, but if I leave it totally alone for 5 minutes (with no server I/O occuring) and come back, you'll see a substantial amount of time eaten up. This didn't begin happening until post 0.2. I even reloaded all the 386bsd sources from tape, reapplied patckit 0.2 and recompiled the world from *scratch* just on the off-chance that some of my own earlier hackery had caused it. Nope. No difference. Hmmmmm. Jordan -- Jordan Hubbard Lotus Development Ireland jkh@whisker.lotus.ie I DO NOT SPEAK FOR LOTUS - IT HAS PLENTY OF LAWYERS TO DO THAT FOR IT ALREADY
