>> [unknown ... Sorry to provide an afterthought, but this might be helpful I hope:
Summarising, as looking through any of the logfiles sorted or otherwise is a bit of a bind, I think the explanation of the sloth must lie somewhere in the output of strace /bin/wish84 | grep unknown (a) This output always contains a reference to _cygtls (b) Occasonally, on the very slow Toshiba at least, the output is null (nothing "unknown") corresponding to the cases when wish84 is not so slow to produce the display panel.
