I am running FreeBSD 2.0 and have suddenly seen a dramtic decrease in
performance.  It seems to take forever to get a session going but,
once the session is established the performance seems normal.
However,  I am using CERN 3.0 and the performance is very bad, seems
to be same situation in that once the session is established, the
pages come up quick.  This problem has just arisen in the last week
and I have not added any processes.  I have, unfortunatly fiddled with
the configuration (restored old files, no help)  and I replaced the
net card (SMC 3216T ULTRA) just in case (again no help).

Any ideas where to look?  I am very new to BSD (and UNIX in general).

Thanks in advance.
