I've just installed OpenServer 5.0.6a on an IBM xSeries 225 server with
512MB of RAM. This machine seems quite slow given the amount of RAM, CPU
speed, etc. taking what seems to be extremely long times to run typical
./configure and builds. I've installed all the updates recommended on the
SCO web site for 5.0.6.

It's been a while since I did a lot of OSR5 kernel tuning, and I'm
suffering from severe CRS. Any suggestions where to start to figure out
why this critter's so slow?
