ksh-e SYSV/AT Slow Start Up

[William Ricker]

Does anyone no why ksh-e on uport SYSV/AT is so slow to start up? The
ksh takes only a couple of seconds, while ksh-e takes about 30 seconds
as reported by ps. By putting echo statements in my .kshrc file, it
appears that the slow down is where the first shell function is
defined.  Interestingly, invoking ksh-e -c "dirs", where dirs is one
of my shell functions, only takes a couple of seconds. However just
starting a new shell by ksh-e takes about 30 seconds. The version of
ksh-e given by ^V command is 06/03/86a. Can any one explain this. Does
any one have a fix!

thanks
