slow xauth

All,

We currently have a boot server that assigns display numbers such as
"system:6.0" to each system that boots. Once the user telnets to another
system we set the display using xauth as follows:

DISPLAY=`/usr/bin/X11/xauth -i list | head -1 | cut -f1 -d" " `.0

which sets the DISPLAY to system:6.0.

The problem is that is takes between 15 and 40 seconds for xauth to read the
.Xauthority file and assign the display.

Does anyone know of a faster process?
