Very slow adding users (AS 800 5/500, DU 4.0b sp6)

Dear fellow DU managers,

We have started experiencing a long delay when adding users to
our server. The adduser command gets to the point where it
states "Adding new user..." and then it is more than a minute
before returning with "Do you wish to edit the auth file entry
for this user (y/[n])?" !

The server is not very heavily loaded, has 512Mb of memory and
is running DU 4.0b super patch 6. Currently it has just over
6000 user accounts.

Is this behavior normal ?

TIA

Regards,
