AIX 5.2 problem

Hello,
I'm working on a AIX5.2 OS. The problem i'm facing is that the system performance is good in rrot login, but when i switch to other users login it is very slow. A ls or even pwd command take almost 20 to 30 sec to disply output.
The same logins are working fine on other machine. can any one help me on this.

Root has priority over other users and processes so if the box is busy a user login will have a slower reponse than root. If this is not the case is root logging in localy to the machine and the users going over a network? Is there a network issue with that machine? Check the users nice values, perhapes they may have been set higher on that machine vs the others.

Just some things to look into.
