Is there any reason why vi should start-up so slowly when run on the PC console compared to a remote login? I find it takes 10-12 seconds on the PC consoles and only a couple of secs if I rlogin from elsewhere. (no filename and irritatingly reproducible) I am running 2.2-961014-SNAP on a 486/33 with 20M, plenty of swap unused.
