I have tried cygwin1-20100822.dll.bz2, but same results. :(
The first time (no cache 'effects') I do
$ time ls -lrt /usr/bin
the results are:
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.7.5(0.225/5/3) 2010-04-12 19:07 i686 Cygwin
time ls -lrt /usr/bin
real 0m16.531s
user 0m0.108s
sys 0m0.421s
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.7.6(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-16 16:06 i686 Cygwin
real 1m3.171s
