Re: Delayed execution on Pentium II

running NT 4.0 sp 3.

One application, ...runs immediately 
when executed on the Pentium Pro while on the Pentium II it sits for 
approximately 2 minutes before executing and producing results identical to 
the Pentium Pro.  Watching via the NT Task manager shows no cpu utilization 
and GDB reveals nothing since the application runs correctly.  I have made 
the .EXE files on both systems and run them on the opposite system as well 
with the same results. 

Has anyone seen this type of behavior before?  I am assuming it is a 
BASH/Pentium II issue.

My Pentium Pro system has always exhibited these interminable delays, running 
NT4/SP3 on a FAT file system.  Installing W2K on NTFS cured the problem.  My 
Pentium II has never shown the delays, but I've never run the NT4 FAT 
combination on it.  Maybe I'll check into whether NT4/SP5 continues to 
exhibit the delays on a FAT system; if so, maybe I'll see if it can convert 
to NTFS.  But, the delays could be an effect of Netware, which is hooked up 
only to the NT system.
