	I am currently running Uniq Digital's UNIX V Release 2.0 Version 2
	on a VAX 8600.  I would like to know the optimum time slice.
	To my knowledge, my time slice is 1 second.  The time slice
	is the maximum time a process can run before it is involuntarily
	switched out.

	Currently, the response time for interactive processes like vi
	is terrible. Compiles though are running  faster on a VAX 8600 
	than on a VAX 11/785. vi is running much SLOWER. Could the time slice 
	of 1 second cause this?
