Doing some routine maintenance I copied a file to the root of the

I deleted the file when I was done and the system did the same thing.
It appears that whenever the drive root is modified the system
slows to a grinding halt, I've examined the logs and can't seem to
find anything weird going on, no entries of any kind that look
outside of the ordinary and nothing related to files of any kind.
I decided to perform the simple copy/delete test on several of the
machines and it appears that 2 out of 16 machines exhibit this issue.
Any ideas?
I can't imagine why, but long delays like this are often related to
DNS...might be worth checking into.
How can writing a file to the root of the drive be affected by DNS??
If that were the case then all of the machines would exhibit the same
issue because they all use the same DNS server and swapping the
hostnames/IP's pairs makes no difference.
You can open a terminal window and execute the following
cat <<EOF>/testfile.txt
this is a dummy-file.
EOF
From the time I press enter until the prompt returns it's taking
43-48 second.
The same holds true for deleting a file.
On the machines that don't exhibit this issue it's instant.
