Is there anything software wise which could be done for a MicroVax running
the B News so that it would be able to handle uncompressing compressed batches
more quickly?  At least, I assume that this is the hold up - the machine
in question is working on a batch which has a creation date 8 hrs ago,
and has accumulated 13 minutes on a process called uucico.  If that isnt
the process doing the uncompression, what would cause things just to come
to a halt like that?  I see this happen sometimes and a machine showing
these symptoms are sometimes 12-14 hrs behind in handling batches - it
is almost like something is hung.  Then, all of a sudden, things start
getting done and it gets all caught up.
