Greetings,
I've often noticed that there's a big difference in the performance
between Cygwin cp and Windows copy over the local network -- cp
usually takes twice as long for the same operation. Here's an
example:
muser@A4826995 /c/Users/Muser
$ time cmd /c copy \\\\server\\w\\cygwin.zip .
1 file(s) copied.
real 0m7.344s
user 0m0.015s
sys 0m0.046s
muser@A4826995 /c/Users/Muser
$ time cp \\\\server\\w\\cygwin.zip .
real 0m18.559s
user 0m0.046s
sys 0m2.432s
muser@A4826995 /c/Users/Muser
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 A4826995 1.7.17(0.262/5/3) 2012-10-19 14:39 i686 Cygwin
muser@A4826995 /c/Users/Muser
$ ls -lh cygwin.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 muser Users 513M Sep 25 11:47 cygwin.zip
Why is this? Is there something I can do to increase the performance of cp?
Thanks,
Dave
