If you think we're sharing process creation code with MinGW then you have a misunderstanding about the nature of the projects. One of the main reasons for MinGW is that they want to do everything natively. That is obviously not the case with Cygwin. If you are talking about MSYS then, the last time I checked, we were actually slightly faster. I obviously can't tell you what to do but I doubt that comparing the current version of Cygwin against an ancient hacked version of Cygwin (i.e., MSYS) is going to be very useful. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
