Hello,
I am not sure what is happening on your machine, as I now have the
Interactive 2.2 Workstation Developer installed on my DTK-386 machine.
I am using a full configuration with almost every option except the
2K file system installed (Interactives FFS is much better). I just
shelled out to run the above 'ps' test, and the system was under
considerable load (unbatching NEWS, 3 UUCP connections, 2 users, and
one X window session). The first invocation of ps took about three
seconds, while a repeat call to ps took under one second. I truly
believe that you must have a problem in the system setup, or possibly
somthing strange going on in the hardware. I wish I could offer some
suggestions to your problem, but I don't think you can say that the
2.2 release is the cause of the problem you are having. I almost
forgot, this system is running with 8 meg of RAM, so it should be some
middle ground based on the above information you provided...
