Yes, the two installations are actually sharing the same home dir, I have both of them configured to use HOME=%USERPROFILE%. > Do you have the same bash-completion package (often the most > time-consuming part of bash startup)? I don't have the "bash-completion" package installed at all, neither in the 32-bit nor 64-bit installs. I just double checked this now. Also, I didn't mention this in the original mail, but to make sure I was comparing apples to apples I actually put "set -x" at the top of the .profile script, then I ran it under the 32-bit and 64-bit installs and compared the outputs using "diff", to make sure the exact sequence of steps was executed in both cases. Of course I removed the "set -x" for the actual benchmark measurements. -- 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
