Hello, I performed a fresh install of cygwin on windows XP. I am seeing that some commands take a really long time to execute, I was wondering if anyone else is experience this. For example, the 'which' command takes 2s while the 'pwd' command runs just fine. Please see my sample output below and if you have encountered this before, let me know what's up!
$ time which Usage: which [options] [--] COMMAND [...] Write the full path of COMMAND(s) to standard output. --version, -[vV] Print version and exit successfully. --help, Print this help and exit successfully. --skip-dot Skip directories in PATH that start with a dot. --skip-tilde Skip directories in PATH that start with a tilde. --show-dot Don't expand a dot to current directory in output. --show-tilde Output a tilde for HOME directory for non-root. --tty-only Stop processing options on the right if not on tty. --all, -a Print all matches in PATH, not just the first --read-alias, -i Read list of aliases from stdin. --skip-alias Ignore option --read-alias; don't read stdin. --read-functions Read shell functions from stdin. --skip-functions Ignore option --read-functions; don't read stdin. Recommended use is to write the output of (alias; declare -f) to standard input, so that which can show aliases and shell functions. See which(1) for examples. If the options --read-alias and/or --read-functions are specified then the output can be a full alias or function definition, optionally followed by the full path of each command used inside of those.
