Agreed, I would like to make a global change, however, unless I can talk to the current maintainer of the fhandler* functions, it seems illogical for me to change them (as I have about a week of cygwin dll experience).
Also my interest in performance is limited to a very certain subset of executables : bash, rsync, stat, and du. As an example find already seems to have good performance under cygwin. > I don't think there's an objection here to > patching *rsync* specially in the cygwin > environment -- that would be between you > and the rsync port maintainer.
