Hello,
for my cygwin installation (cygwin-1.7.7-1, downloaded 2010-11-02, on a Windows
XP SP 3),
the time for a "ls -l" to complete is much slower than the time for a "cmd /C
dir",
although similar information gets displayed.
Does anybody know a setting, maybe a flag to "ls", to make the ls as quick as
the Windows dir?
On a local drive, both, ls and Windows dir, are quite quick. The difference
comes up,
when working on a slow network drive (Q:).
I took these times:
Example 1: Windows dir completes in only 13.3 seconds
-----------------------------------------------------
/cygdrive/c/Dokumente und Einstellungen/test2/Desktop/cy>time cmd /C dir
'Q:\Angebot'
Datenträger in Laufwerk Q: ist Data
Volumeseriennummer: XXX
Verzeichnis von Q:\Angebot
04.02.2011 21.10 <DIR> .
04.02.2011 21.10 <DIR> ..
03.02.2011 14.29 775.168 AnXXX

0.015u 0.015s 0:13.33 0.1% 0+0k 0+0io 1219pf+0w
Example 2: cygwin ls takes 53.9 seconds
---------------------------------------
For the same drive and same directory, Cygwin's ls takes 53.9 seconds,
that's 4 times as much than the Windows dir:
/cygdrive/c/Dokumente und Einstellungen/test2/Desktop/cy>time ls -l
/cygdrive/q/Angebot/
insgesamt 816

Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks
