Probably, but I don't know them. I have no netapp access. If you're interested to gain speed, you will have to debug this locally. Typically file access in 1.7 should be a bit faster than on 1.5 and netapp is practically handled like any FAT drive in 1.7. Hmm, on second thought, there's a difference here. File access in 1.7 is by default case-sensitive if your obcaseinsensitive kernel flag is set (http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive). Can you change your mount entry for your netapp drive so that you add the option "posix=0" and restart your Cygwin session? Does that help?
