-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Gregory Rosensteel on 4/15/2008 1:46 PM: | 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!
Windows is notoriously slow at path searching (particularly if there is a network path or heavily populated directory encountered during the search) and process spawning (at least, when emulating fork on top of windows API). Remember, 'pwd' is a shell builtin, while 'which' is an external executable, so in your example, you are only doing a PATH search for 'which'. One other thing to check is if you have any http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA interfering with process creation. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
