keyword=epicsRunStart was slow, now faster
I investigated the problem of epicsRunStart taking a long time --
hence very slow halog enties for start-run. Several lines like
this (for HV) are timing out, taking 15 seconds each
caget MF7b1461_0ch0property.F
I turned off some "TURNON*" flags pertaining to HV.
Someone had turned these on around June 26.
Naturally, it's good to know what the HV is doing, but one
will need to find a better way. Either the EPICs variable
was renamed/removed or the server is failing or renamed.
Unfortunately this is pretty common with EPICs, so it's
always necessary to test the script and do some legwork.
I've been running epicsRunStart interactively for tests.
Hence multiple entries in halog.
See many entries like below in run-start entries.
They cost 15 seconds each.
