Yup i've been getting random slow condor_Status and condor_q behaviour
often and with many versions of condor.
I tend not to use the commnds unless i really need to. I was even
thinging about making a database to record teh status every ten minutes
and only let my users view that database to minimize the chances of
condor collector getting frozen or stuck.
My friend that uses a 100% pure windows condor setup doesn;t have this
problem..I have a condor setup which has alpha linux,mac os x,windows xp
& intel linux...don't know if that has something to do with it...i also
have my collectors using TCP.
