hello people!

I've got a PC with an AMD DX2-80, and 16Meg of RAM, 540Meg HD, running NetBSD 
1.0 and X11R6. Recently I got a full binary distribution for emacs 19.28.0 
(with X11 support) but when I run it it takes forever before the actual window 
comes up on the screen. By "forever" I mean pretty close to a minute. This is
obviously wrong behaviour, as on my friends DX2-66 it only takes a few seconds.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

cheers,
Tomek
