Hello all,
We use cygwin for our build environment, and have observed that
everything runs extremely slow on x64 systems, for versions newer than
approximately 1.5.12 (including 1.7.1). When I run the following command
in BASH,
while true; do date >> file; done
on a 1.5.12 Core II system, I get approximately 100 dates per second.
On a 1.7.1 Nehalem system, I get approximately 15, and it takes several
seconds for Ctrl-C to take effect, whereas it's instantaneous on 1.5.12.
It makes no difference whether I redirect the output or not.
We have found that the problem was introduced somewhere between 1.5.12
and 1.5.24-2. We have not seen any such slowdown on x86 systems.
We have observed this on XP x64, Server 2003 R2 x64, and now (with 1.7.1
only) on Windows 7 x64.
Can anyone recommend how we could profile this to help isolate the problem?
We have vTune and Quantify in-house.
Regards,
David
