    After I type my login and password on the console, like below:

    Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable tarnica vc/2

    tarnica login: miernik
    Password:
    Linux tarnica 2.4.22 #1 Wed Oct 29 14:01:21 CET 2003 i586 GNU/Linux
    No mail.
    miernik@tarnica:~$

    there is a 3.4 second delay after the "No mail." line, before
    "miernik@tarnica:~$" appears.

    How can I get rid of that delay?
    What the system does in that time?
