Adding "title" to the CYGWIN variable (e.g., CYGWIN = title) in
Cygwin.bat as per the user manual gives a tremendous psychological
advantage, lowering the slow start pain, as one can see that things are
really happening. "ls" is working perfectly fine -- I will reboot if I
ever see it behave slowly again compared to Windows native "dir" command.

Just confirming Bruno DeLoroux observation that cygwin starts very
very slowly on some Windows XP installations. And "ls" is fairly
slow. My Desktop PC is generally faster than my laptop, but the
situation is reversed with regards to these cygwin activities; startup
is painful on the Desktop.
