Re: [U2] [UV] getting LISTU to show full user names or in raw for mat

[Clifton Oliver]

It is a function of the host O/S. PORT.STATUS queries the running 
processes. Those processes then have to interrupt what they are doing 
and report back to the calling process. I would have to look up the 
details of the mechanism, but IBM probably considers that information 
proprietary anyway. Suffice it to say, PORT.STATUS has a lot of 
overhead because of what it needs to do.

A bunch of programmers sitting there running repeated PORT.STATUS 
queries by hitting .X over and over will nail system's performance. So 
use with care.

command runs so slow?
