From: ht AT cogsci DOT ed DOT ac DOT uk (Henry S. Thompson) Date: 11 Oct 2000 21:57:16 +0100 Message-ID: Lines: 30 User-Agent: Gnus/5.0805 (Gnus v5.8.5) XEmacs/21.2(beta13) (Demeter) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I'm running netinstalled 1.1.4, including bash 2.04.0, under Win2K. I've modified cygwin.bat as follows: C: chdir \cygwin\bin set CYGWIN=tty bash --login -i After running for a fair while, I find that I lose performance across the board, and that bash is the culprit: although it's still working OK, the Windows Task Manager shows 90--95% of CPU going to bash. Anybody else seen this? Any fixes/workarounds suggested? Note I don't _think_ this is the same as the 'slow bash' problem, in that it's not a "time to come back to bash prompt" problem, but a permanent cycle-sucking one. Thanks ht -- Henry S.
