switch to different shell takes a long time

Hi,Newbie. What would cause a switch to a different to take so long. It looks like its taking 15 seconds are so just to switch to csh or tcsh from sh. Haven't tried to look at other shells..... Once the shell is switched to, commands run just like normal.

Have you looked at the truss command? man truss for details

Are the shells on an NFS server? Probably not.

Does it only happen from sh to some other shell, or is it from any to any?

Have a look at your .profile or .*rc files. Maybe some commands are run (like a find for core files in your home)
