I am experiencing a problem with Cygwin on my Dell 7590. There is a multi-second delay when starting a cygwin program from a mintty window, but only the first time that a program is run.
E.g. if run openssl version, then sometimes there is a delay before anything is outputted. If I run the command again, there is no delay. I ran a test with strace, and I believe the delay occurs during the initial loading of the cygwin dlls: --- Process 6232 created --- Process 6232 loaded C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll at 00007ffe3b4c0000 --- Process 6232 loaded C:\Windows\System32\kernel32.dll at 00007ffe3a660000 --- Process 6232 loaded C:\Windows\System32\KernelBase.dll at 00007ffe38c60000 --- Process 6232 thread 24052 created --- Process 6232 thread 28400 created --- Process 6232 thread 2788 created --- Process 6232 loaded C:\cygwin64\bin\cygssl-1.1.dll at 00000003f7a60000 --- Process 6232 loaded C:\cygwin64\bin\cygcrypto-1.1.dll at 00000003fa540000 --- Process 6232 loaded C:\cygwin64\bin\cygwin1.dll at 0000000180040000 --- Process 6232 loaded C:\cygwin64\bin\cygz.dll at 00000003f7320000 --- Process 6232 loaded C:\cygwin64\bin\cygwin1.dll at 0000000000da0000 Can anyone suggest why this is happening? The version of cygwin is: $ uname -r 3.2.0(0.340/5/3) By the way, I don't see this on my older PC, it's version of cygwin is: 3.1.7(0.340/5/3) I don't really want to upgrade my older PC to the latest cygwin to test if the 3.2 version is the culprit or not. I also upgraded from windows 10 to windows 11 on the PC experiencing the slow start issue, and that didn't have any effect on the problem. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
