Once I got past the ange-ftp/efs hurdle, b95 seems to run just fine on
a tty (Sparc/Solaris 2.5).  However, startup time has seriously
degraded.  b95 is several times slower to start with my full
environment than b93 is.  My quick guesstimate is that b93 starts in
about 5 or 10 seconds while b95 takes roughly 45 seconds.  This with
identical configure lines (see attached), and everything else the same
AFAICT.  Could efs be that much slower?  If so, we need to either do
some serious performance tuning on it, or reconsider using it as the
default.  If it's not efs, I apologize!  I haven't elp'd things yet to
see what the problem could be.
