I see some folks are having problems with slow logins via telnet, and high load with 6.3. I had the same problem and while I'm not exactly sure what the exact cause of the problem is, here's my experience and solution:
I was telnetting in from a DOS/command shell in a Win2k machine, and it was taking a long time (up to 20 seconds) to get the bash prompt (especially when a picture was playing). And when it finally got in, the load was so high that the HD picture was stuttering! HOWEVER, when I telnetted in from an XP machine (same way, command shell) it was fine, logs in in 2 secs, low load. So it had something to do with the telnet via the command shell in Win2k. Could be some telnet configuration in that mode was causing a lot of things to happen in the background. Who knows, some telnet expert can figure it out. Anyway, to get around it on the Win2k machine, I just used Hyperterminal to telnet in instead of the command shell, and everything was fine!
So, if you're having this problem, try it!
