I find that file I/O is very slow under GNU Emacs.  It takes  far too long to
create or open a file, save  it, even  mark it as  modified.   Opening a file
using  the native  editor DM, or even MicroGnuEmacs,   on  the same system is
orders of magnitude faster.  Is  this a GNU Emacs problem,  or a problem with
the installation on my system?  Anyone seen this problem before, and  know of
a fix?

I'm  running GNU Emacs 18.30 on  an  Apollo  DN3000 running  DOMAIN/IX (Aegis
SR9.2.5  and  Unix  BSD4.2).   [This  combination  also  exhibits  the  known
"filelock" bug, which may or may not be related.]

Thanx in advance... Ashwin Ram.
