Hey Cygwin users,
     After using UNIX desktops for nearly seven years now, I'm forced to use
a windows desktop. Since I knew a thing like cygwin existed, I installed the
complete set of packages and I was thrilled. But simple commands like ls
take this time

$ time ls -l
total 23
drwxr-xr-x    1 kkoorapa mkgroup-        0 Nov 11 17:50 Mail
-rw-r--r--    1 kkoorapa mkgroup-       39 Nov 10 17:42 t.c
-rwxr-xr-x    1 kkoorapa mkgroup-    11224 Nov 10 17:40 t.exe
-rwxr-xr-x    1 kkoorapa mkgroup-    11224 Nov 10 17:43 tt.exe

real    0m18.115s
user    0m0.020s
sys     0m0.010s

Likewise any utility I try to use like vi, emacs etc just take really long.
I'm not sure how  I could debug this. I did try to use strace etc, but got
no clues. Searching the archives also did not help me. BTW, I use Win 2000
Pro on a DELL Box with 512MB RAM and at this time, top shows this:

 18:18:11 up  7:57,  0 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
7 processes: 6 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:   0.2% user,   1.2% system,   0.0% nice,  98.6% idle
Mem:    522228K total,   210788K used,   311440K free,        0K buffers
Swap:   753248K total,   276720K used,   476528K free,        0K cached

Thanks for any help !

Koundinya
