Dramatic pause in PIX 7.0(2) after 'q' on page break in sh conf

When I do a sh conf on PIX 7.0(2), and then press 'q' on the prompt, there is about a 10 second pause before it gives me back the enable prompt. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

Should I waste my time calling Cisco about this?

On a side note, is it just me or does everyone get incompetent morons when they call Cisco for support? Every time I call them it turns into a multi-hour ordeal at best, at worst a multi-week ordeal.

Is there a secret way to get someone who knows what they are talking about?

Haven't noticed it myself, what happens if you use ctrl-z instead?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that this happens on the console only.

Anyways, I found the bug, it is CSCsb51776, unfixed. Here are details:

Symptom:

On a PIX 7 with a large configuration, with console access:

- "show run" is quite fast, paging through config also

- stopping with "q" takes a second or so

- "show startup" noticeable slower

- stopping with "q" freezes for some 10 seconds

Conditions:

PIX version 7, large configuration.

Workaround:

None sofar.

Further Problem Description:

This is not the case with PIX release 6.

I would not call this a bug but it is annoying.
