I did track this down once. There's a call to delay() somewhere. I
forget where - I think it's either part of the command processor or
maybe the console printing/flushing routines. No, I don't know why.
Maybe some leftover debugging code?

actually, tso in doctor(A) according to my 10th Edition manual, and
sadly undocumented.
doctor, tso - psychiatric consultation . . . . . . . DOCTOR(A)
is intriguing but not entirely illuminating!
anyone still have these useful-sounding utilities?
any relation to eliza?

tso seems to have dropped out (it was older).
doctor is indeed a version of eliza. Someone
seems to have ported Franz lisp.
