Running bash under NT the system becomes considerable slower. When I exit
from bash in the dos box the system runs at the normal NT slowliness (with
bash it's double NT slowliness). I noticed the same when I let the Norton
Commander running and I guess that both of them are not aware that they are
running in "multitasking" (so much for NT and multitasking) and continuosly
poll the keyboard (or something other). Is there a patch or something that
might reduce this (at least for bash)?

Harrison's postulate:  
For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
