These are inherited from the settings in C:\, AFAIK (the list is extracted from the output of icacls for each file in /usr/bin). I have another test installation that may differ in minor details since it hasn't been in use for many years, but in principle the output of icacls looks the same for both. I can remove the test installation and install it completely fresh if there's hope to get this problem resolved. > Btw., my machine and my account are domain members as well.

Running ls is considerably faster on my machine as well (but probably not under 3 seconds, that machine has a slow disk and that it is almost full doesn't really help, even with regular defragmentation). One application that shows the behviour I'm talking(*) about is pod2html, and it finishes in almost no time when I simply remove "bin" from the podpath argument. If it makes a difference, I am running this as administrator under Win7 Pro/32 (but presumably the same or a very similar problem happens when a colleague of mine runs some scripts on his machine as "normal" user). The whole hierarchy that Cygwin is installed into is excluded from being real-time-checked by the virus scanner and that seems to be working as it gets another 2-3 times slower if I remove that exclusion. (*) lsass.exe consumes one of the two cores completely, there is absolutely no network activity and not much disk activity except at the very beginning (which I assume is where the stat is collected).
