Subject: Floppy becomes floppy?

I found some interesting thing about my floppy drives (a: 1.2, b: 1.44).
If I type 'b:' and then 'dir', it takes about 5 seconds to get the response.
If I type 'dir' again within about 2 seconds after the response, I can get
response very soon.  However, if I type 'dir' after 2 seconds, the response
becomes slow again (about 3 seconds).
Is this normal? or does my WD WA-3 controller have some problem.    ?
