Over time my cygwin responsiveness seems to have diminished. When

Possibly there is some corporate security s/w slowing it down now, I
don't know. Or would possibly a reinstall of cygwin help?
I have tried closing all other windows, rebooting etc but it is always
slow. I don't notice a problem with other apps, just cygwin. Any other
suggestions on what this could be?
Typically? <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA> is always a good guess.
If that's not it, I recommend reviewing the problem reporting guidelines

I don't have any of the things specifically listed under BLODA.

I don't think it is a problem with cygwin itself. I was mainly curious
if anyone sees the "system" task running 50% when doing a gcc build
using Make (or similar intensive long term activity). I have weak XP
based laptop with no corporate security that runs cygwin fine compared
to my dual-core corporate desktop machine. I will check it on the laptop
but it is not with me now. Thanks for the reply.
