Oracle 7.3.2 Connection problem : very long time to get a connection

I have an Oracle 7.3.2 installed on a Bull Server AIX 4.1.5 Escala computer with 256 Mo memory.

At any time there are about between 5 and 10 oracle processes running, each one corresponding to one database active connection.

I login the server, then i run SQL Plus tool and connect to the DataBase: i have to wait from 1 minute to more than 3 minutes to get the "SQL>" prompt.

What method could i use to find out this problem (is it an Oracle problem or an AIX one) ?
