[nos-bbs] A speed of processing issue

[George (Skip) VerDuin]

Greetings again today.

I wonder if anyone knows that there is / is not a processing throttle in
jnos?

Here is this story:
At my jnos BBS console I telnet to others and all is well.  Yet when I
do the same from my linux platform telnet the session proceeds more
quickly.  The touch-and-feel is that jnos has a built-in slow-down
mechanism.
Also - in another example while reading a trace of a session by my
friend over RF, I note a many-second delay between ACK for the IHeard
command and the packet response with the IH table.

My platform has reasonable horsepower - it can do 150+ page document
search for a complex word structure in under a second - 13 second
response to IH can not be 13 times more demanding for a 4 entry table.
I don't find a configuration item for the effect.  I have not looked in
the compilation for such a parameter.

Jnos never seems to show up as consuming more than a couple percentage
points of CPU.  Even after adding lots of I/O cycles there seems to me
little explanation for sspeed of operation...
