We are experiencing a major difference in performance between bash on a real
unix system and on cygwin. I can't imagine that this is a problem of
Windows - it might be a catastrophe in os design, but you can't say that
it's THAT slow.
Now we looked at out network monitoring tools and found this:

There are hundreds of these messages. Does this mean, that bash reads a
shell script one byte after the other?? Z:\ is mapped to a linux raid
machine using Samba. Is this a problem of Cygwin, Samba, or is our
monitoring tool lying?
