One possible way for this to occur would be if the TASK.EXE files are on
a slow NFS server.  Some simple timing tests (like a stupid start of the
task itself from the command line:

      time $LOAD/IMAGR.EXE

might be instructive.  When I try that here I get:

real    0m1.101s
user    0m0.007s
sys     0m0.022s

for bonobo.  The $LOAD area is on the netapp (our filehost) and it takes
over a second for the thing to get under way.  I'm assuming that the NFS
operations are the bottleneck here but I could be wrong.

Just a thought...
