I'm currently seeing a strange behaviour on my server.  I log in using ssh
and running interactive ascii programs is extremely slow.

eg 'less', 'top', 'pine' are slow, but 'cat' and 'top|cat' run normally.

System resources are not being taxed much.

  root@dawn# top|cat
  last pid: 13550;  load averages:  0.08,  0.04,  0.02    21:03:41
  45 processes:  1 running, 44 sleeping

  Mem: 43M Active, 2076K Inact, 25M Wired, 11M Cache, 8345K Buf, 43M Free
  Swap: 531M Total, 6520K Used, 525M Free, 1% Inuse

Interactive programs run extremely slow and/or lock up.  Not sure if the
locking up is just too slow for my patience.

Any ideas what may be causing this?
