I don't think any more the slow process creation (fork) I'm seeing is a Cygwin problem. A Makefile for ActiveState Perl also takes an eternity to run.

These Windows utilities also take time to launch. All processes, once running, do *not* appear slow; they just take time to get started. What can I do at the Windows or Cygwin level to find the cause of this slowdown? -- Michael Ludwig -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
