Occasionally, I need to check or change a PV, for which I use the
caget and caput command-line utilities. The operation (put or get) is
executed immediately, but then the PC waits for several seconds before
the cursor is returned. Does anyone know what is causing this? It feels
like a network timeout, but all I have is a PC and an IOC with a
crossover cable between. Anyone know the fix?

What version of EPICS were your caget/caput programs built against, and what
is the Linux version they're running on?  We used to see delays like this at
process shutdown while the atexit() routines were being run, but they were
cleaned up quite a few releases ago.
