I'm getting very similar behavior on a 200MHz 64MB Pentium (non-MMX) WinNT 4.0 system, running in a largish (1.5MB) NTFS partition, except it's not bash, just make. A relatively simple make, which completes in under 2 seconds under Delorie, takes more than 15 seconds. And then it has a problem with VPATH, so it doesn't do nearly as much in the 15 seconds. Not much disk activity during the first 10 seconds or so. ------------------------------------------------------------ Terry Colligan, President mailto:terryc AT tenberry DOT com Tenberry Software, Inc. http://www.tenberry.com Moderator of the Software-Quality email list on producing high quality software: mailto:software-quality-join AT tenberry DOT com.
