We have a DN4000 running BSD4.3 under DOMAIN_OS 10.1. For some unknown
reason, whenever the accounting is turned on (by "/etc/accton
/usr/adm/acct"), the system is badly slowed down -- from time to time, one
has to wait for ten seconds before getting the prompt back. Normally, there
are only two or three users on the system and no one is really taking too
much CPU time. And the size of /usr/adm/acct does not increase very rapidly.
Any one out there knows the reason for this problem and the way to fix it?

Thanks for any help in advance.
