You hit the nail on the head!!Do you run a CPU-soaking background program such as SETI@home, Folding@home (the protein folding experiment) or fightAIDS@home (the AIDS drug discovery program)?If so, you're seeing the result of the changes to how Cygin accesses pipes in 1.3.18.
I'm running SETI@Home. Killed the process, launched a new bash shell, and voila! The slowdown has magically disappeared!
