If you have it, you might try not using it and seeing if that makes a difference for you. > If I try it on Linux, though the first always slower, but it's a lot > faster then in cygwin. I think that you'll find many statements in the archives from people more knowledgeable than me that because it is an emulation layer on top of Windows, cygwin is slower than Linux. Please note that the previous sentence may ascribe the slowness to TWO factors: (1) emulation layer, and (2) Windows. :-) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
