[ale] Long lag for command line

[Scott Plante]

Is your user account local--i.e. in /etc/passwd? Not lately, but in the past I've experienced this behavior when there was a problem with our LDAP server. I think there was some timeout going on before it reverted to cached values. Could be any number of things I suppose, but that could be one to check out. Do you have the same trouble if you login as root?

Subject: [ale] Long lag for command line 

Anyone ever experience long lags for simple things at the command line? 
Right now I've got a Debian system that had been working fine but for 
some reason now it takes it a few seconds to do something simple like 
open vi or cat a file -- not even big files, just a few kilobytes or 
less. The load average is 1.5 but top doesn't show anything really 
hitting the CPU. No cron jobs running at the time, the machine is 
mostly quiet. It just handles a few internal activities for me 
(internal web server, place to compile little things, etc).
