Hello, Are the /etc/group and /etc/passwd files referenced much by cygwin while executing programs or doing file accesses ?
The reason for asking is the following. I have a server process which schedules build jobs. This process awakes every five seconds, to have a good response time. However, when looking at the Task Manager performance display, I now have every five seconds a spike up to 30% cpu. This is a dual processor system, at 1.8 GHz and a SCSI subsystem. The only thing I changed yesterday, was copying a new group file, created by mkgroup -d. This file is 1669895 bytes large (yes, that is 1.59 Mb), it contains 22080 group entries. I done the test. I took the new group file, removed all lines below what I needed (about 20500), and replaced it. The result is that everything is snappier under Cygwin. Do you think this should be filed as a bug ?
