Thanks for the reply...
Yes I am running a Virus Scanner and I was previously (when everthing
was well behaved), but I did update the database a month or two ago....
I'll try disabling it to see if it makes a difference.
Yes, I think that I was running with a snapshot from early 99, but
I'd have to double check.

Do you have a Virus Scanner running? Do/did you update the virus database?
All of the slow downs I've noticed happen because the Virus Scanner is
running.
Also, were you using snapshots with b20?

Try disableing the Virus Scanner and see if that helps.

May have helped, however you can also look at it yourself and search the
archives for responses I've made to the cygcheck output of others.
