Yes, I've read http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC33 No, I have no network share in path 0=)
I'm writing this message because it *seems* to be that this issue is not very old, but I couln't say if this is exact, expected, or always was.
$ cat do-something.sh #!/bin/bash for ((i=0; i<10; i++)); do echo -n $i; done; echo
On CygWin: $ time for ((i=0; i<10; i++)); do echo -n $i; done; echo 0123456789 real 0m0.001s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s $ time ./do-something.sh 0123456789 real 0m0.686s user 0m0.062s sys 0m0.015s
While, e.g. on FreeBSD: $ time for ((i=0; i<10; i++)); do echo -n $i; done; echo 0123456789 real 0m0.000s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s $ time ./do-something.sh 0123456789 real 0m0.004s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.002s
OK, I know that Windows doesn't have pipes and cygwin, in emulating them, *cannot be* as fast, BUT I don't remember CygWin taking almost 1 second to spawn, in the past.
But, I repeat, maybe I only forgot the past... but it really didn't seem to take "5 minutes" to complete a typical cofngiure script (which involves LOTS of spawning.)
Is is not, btw, the "priority" sisue that it was some time ago, as the 700ms time is the same either the CPU being 0% or 100% (with idle tasks).
Seems really strange to me... ?_?
Even a single "echo" takes up to 500ms: $ time /bin/echo 1 1 real 0m0.442s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.030s
