Well, I seem to be having some rather major problems with a
NeXTdimension machine that I run, and I can't seem to find anything that
is obviously causing the problem.  The configuration is as follows:

	NeXTcube ('040, 16Mb RAM)
	NeXTdimension (16Mb RAM)
	400Mb HD
	Optical
	Digital Ears
	IEEE-488/SCSI interface

The problem is that the machine runs SLOW, I mean VERY slow, making an
old 030 machine look fast on some occasions.  I logged in remotely (so
as not to do anything graphics intensive) and I get load averages
ranging from 2.5-3.0, which is entirely TOOO high for a machine that has
basically nothing running on it except a shell.  Even after rebooting
the machine, the load average is in the mid to high 2s immediately.

Any ideas?  We're running NeXTstep 2.1

Chris
