Slow patching once many patches have accumulated.

This is only an annoyance sympton. We have an Ultra-10 with 512 MB RAM and it takes about 7 minutes to apply a single small patch. In this case, no reboot was required.

Looking at it while it runs, the java and listpatch commands are running intensively. Everything has been loaded so 393+ patches have been applied to the OS 2005/03 base already.

Is it possible to run the CLI commandsmpatch to cut to the chase and quickly patch for simpler cases. I do prefer the graphical JAVA-like interfaces but if there are online places to use "smpatch" syntax, I might use it instead. The graphical interface is very nice I might add.
