Unless you are running NFS between your Apollos, the system
does not use TCP/IP for remote file access -- so the pauses
in listing a file are not due to TCP/IP loosing packets.
The Apollo distributed file system uses DDS (Domain Data Service?)
for the underlying network protocal, and this is completely
separate from the TCP/IP services. You can completely shutdown
your TCP/IP services with an "ifconfig" without affecting the
file system (other than NFS mounted file systems, of course!).
