A/UX runs on top of the Mac OS.  If the UNIX file system is not "real UNIX"
but merely a front-end to the Mac HFS software, then the single-threaded
nature of HFS could be expecvted to present extreme performance obstacles,
since only one process's file system request can get serviced at once, and
the rest are sleeping.  I don't have an A/UX to play with, but if it runs
Mac disks, then it is almost surely not a real UNIX file system.
