Right, I *was* looking at the man, which is why I was confused. It doesn't say why this would help, though; does it somehow allow Cygwin to skip the fstat() call? Also, why *is* fstat() so inefficient? Can anything be done about it? I *am* going to play with them, if I can convince Cygwin to let me *un*mount the path. :-) -- Matthew ...Ruthlessly beating Windows with a hammer until it looks like POSIX. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
