Alfred,
Thanks for your response. >>With regard to this performance problem, I've discovered that this >>is not just an sshd problem -- scripts/commands I run through cron >>also exhibit the same behavior. (ie. find, curl, date, etc). Is >>there something about the user context under which these services >>run that could be causing this?

As soon as I removed them, I got >much better performance with ssh (I haven't used cron with Cygwin). Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be it. There are no network paths in either: a) the user whom I am connect via ssh as b) the environment in which the ssh / cron services run (ie. cron_server, sshd_server) I'm thinking its something about the user and/or context under which those services run. Should it matter if those services are running as domain users? Any other ideas?
