    I am trying to use the lif* utilities to get some files
stored on 5.25" floppies.  The drives are on a converted 64000
box.  The lif*  stuff takes FOREVER!  A lifls takes about 96 seconds,
of which maybe  the drive runs 0.25 sec.   If root, a "nice --19" 
will get it down to about 45 sec.  The box is a 9000/360 running HPUX 6.2.
There's nothing else going on in the system.  What IS going on?

Forever grateful, etc, etc,
