counterparts? The one that bothers me the most is the performance of cygwin "Find"
and the windows 'find'. If I'm just looking for filenames (find /c/ -name \*.wav) vs.
looking for *.wav in windows find GUI, the performance difference is very large (maybe
8-10x?). Is this unavoidable because the way cygwin does emulation or can optimizations
be performed that would benefit all programs (not just find).
Even using 'perl' over combo's of cat|tr|sed|grep|more is significantly faster to almost
make the old unix standard scripting commands near worthless (I've gotten more efficient at
1-line perl scripts ala (perl -e '....').
Perhaps it is unavoidable, but I see things like find doing 2 'opens' / file when it is
searching for files...can't it just do a 'stat' of some nature? does it need to do an open, let
alone 2?
Just wondering....
tnx, -linda
