I appreciate that Dave and Dante tested DATA.tar.gz.

I tried these tests in ${HOME} and in c:/temp with the same results.  I do
not see how I could have a remote mount.  I have not used any in my paths.
Just to be sure, I disconnected my I: network drive, as reflected in my
new `cygcheck -s` excerpt below.  (I did nothing under /managed.)

I have all the most current Cygwin packages on both my Thinkpad and my
wife's (same hardware).  I have the same slow problems on both machines,
requiring minutes instead of seconds to perform
gunzip -c DATA.tar.gz | tar xBpf -
rm -rf DATA

Is there anything in my `cygcheck -s` excerpt that suggests I should
try different settings?

Thanks.

Lester
