*<eat it>
I'm reposting this, as it appears that it didn't get out of my system 
(or even into my system).

Problem	    2.9BSD uucico is VERY slow
	    No, let me rephrase that, 2.9BSD uucico is *UNBELIEVEABLY* slow.

Repeat-by   tail -20 /usr/spool/uucp/SYSLOG, divide the number of bytes
	    transfered by the time it took.  Typical rates for a 1200
	    baud line will be ~22 bytes/sec.

Fix-by	    Remove the sleep(1) at line 375 in pk1.c

Cause	    It appears to be an incomplete removal of the cpu.speedup patch
	    from the news.2.10 dist.

	    A full reinstalation of the cpu.speedup patch has been posted to
	    net.sources.

Thanks to the following, who all pointed out the same error:
ihnp4!ut-sally!harvard!wjh12!sob
trwrb!wlbr!jm
ihnp4!harvard!tardis!ddl
and to ...cepu!ucla-cime!kyle and ...cepu!ucla-an!stan for letting me use
their systems for testing and implementation of the patch.
