Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all, I am experiencing a situation: some applications coming up VEEEEERY slow in my FreeBSD3.2. Applications like Xemacs and pine, after I hit 'return', I have to wait about 5 minutes before it comes up. That's not normal, I believe. But most of the other applications like 'emacs' 'netscape' etc. are running as normal. I check it with 'top', I saw state as 'poll'. But POLL so slow??? The things changed to my system was that I accidently messed up my /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib when trying to install staroffice5.1 for linux. I reinstalled most applications and most shared libraries. Before, my system is running great! Any ideas?
