Very slow process list on Tru64 V5.1B-1

I noticed that on 1 node of my 2 node cluster, the load average went
through the roof at regular intervals. After some investigation, I
think it is caused by a very slow 'ps' output (since the CAA subsystem
scripts use 'ps' a lot).


On my primary node:

$ time ps -e|wc -l
    169

real 0m0.099s
user 0m0.017s
sys 0m0.084s


On the secondary node:

$ time ps -e|wc -l
    143

real 0m4.999s <<< !
user 0m0.023s
sys 0m4.936s


Does anybody have any idea why the 'ps -e' on the second node takes
this long? If I do a plain 'ps', it will return quickly.


Any hints, tips?!
