loading compiled files is extremely slow on DECstations

[Kevin Rodgers <krodgers@tigger.cs.colorado.edu>]

I've never run AKCL on a DECstation before, but version 1.586 has been
installed on some 3100s here so I'm trying it out.  The first difference
I've noticed between the DECstations and the Suns is that after
recompiling some of my source code, it loads EXTREMELY slowly.

My initial list of suspects is:
(1) NFS (all my files are mounted from a Sun fileserver);
(2) The loader (ld2.0);
(3) the .o files themselves (which are larger than those produced on the
    Suns).

Has anyone encountered this performance discrepancy before?  How should
I proceed to identify the problem and fix it?

Thanks,
