I have recently hooked up an SLC and two Sparcstation 1+ to my
Sparcstation 1 (the Sparcstation 1+ machines were upgrades from 3/80's),
and have noticed that they come up from power on VERY slowly (like 20
minutes). I was wondering if this is normal? When the machines were
3/80s they came up a lot quicker (within 5 minutes). Also, after the new
machines come up the take a VERY long time to get from the login/password
prompt to the shell prompt. Sometimes even the shell responds slowly,
slower then the 3/80. We are running X on all the machines, the SLC has
12 meg of RAM, the 1+'s have 8 meg, and the server (Sparc 1) has 12 meg.
And by slowly I mean 2-3 minutes for an ls to respond in a directory that
has about 30 files in it, and for the the first shell prompt to come up it
takes about 4 minutes. Is there something that I am missing?
