I seriously doubt that, this happens to us off and on a lot, I remember
a message on the mailing list a month or two ago, it went something like
this:
Why do telnet sessions work faster when you have a telnet session
already open to a PM?
I never saw a reply or even an acknowledgement, but believe me it is a
true statement. Try it, open a telnet session to as many of the
portmasters as you can, and then run your pmwho program, I bet it will
finish twice as fast if not faster.

Jake, said in one of his posts, that it seemed to actually slow down
telnet sessions when he added more memory. You would have to check the
archives, but it was something about going thru all the memory before the
connection was established.

Yeah, you might as well upgrade, but I doubt it will help with your
problem.
