> Is it slow only for me? 9p doesn't play very well with high(er) latency networks, so much depends on router perfornace and the geographic distance between you and the labs. if you are unlucky enough to have your IP routed over satalite links the performance will be very poor.
Having said all this ensuring that '.' is not at the start of your path will help (if you are cd'ing to /n/sources), otherwise you lose several roundtrips whilst rc(1) discovers there is no ls(1) in the currect (remote) directory. -Steve
