Thanks for doing that!  It's really cool to get this info since it seems
to point to the culprit.

It's not the problem that the Australian DNS is mentioned here.  This is
perfectly valid.  The LDAP query is going to the London DNS DC
(apparently, I hope that's right in your case) and the query is for
information on a trusted domain.  It looks like you have a group from
the australian domain in your user token.  To compute the gid of the
group, cygwin asks *your* DC for a value called "posixOffset" for *that*
trusted domain.

The bottom line is, this is not going to Australia, because all DCs have
this info for their trusted domains in their own DB so it's a planly
local query.

However, that mean this local LDAP query is *extremly* slow.  I changed
the query now to limit the scope of the database search.  This should speed
up the request a lot.

I've just built a new developer snapshot and uploaded it to
https://cygwin.com/snapshots/  The latest one is it.  Just replacing
the Cygwin DLL is sufficient for this.  Can you please run the above
timing test again with the developer snapshot DLL, please?

On second thought, there's another screw I could use to speed up this
specific LDAP query even more, but I won't be able to come up with the
change today anymore.  I'm going to provide another developer snapshot
tomorrow for another test, ok?  It would be very helpful probably if we
can get this trustedDomain query into the millisecond area as well.


Idle musing:  It's apparently quite a difference between a real-world
AD and the funny little AD I'm using for testing at home...


Thanks a lot,
Corinna
