I'm using W2K since B3 and I never saw _that_ one. On my machine
PII 450, it runs fast enough. On the first glimps you wouldn't
see a difference to NT4.

So I would like to ask some questions:

- Do you have network paths in $PATH?
- Related: Are you working in a folder which is connected
  as drive?
- Are you logged on as Admin, Power User, Normal User?
- Are you using a virus checker? Which one?
- Could you please send output of cygcheck -s -r -v to me?

Maybe, the solution is quite simple but how knows...
