John,

Chill, dude.  Sure, Michael's subject line is less-than-inspiring, but 
the message content was thorough, showed that he has researched his 
performance problem, and <probably> pinpointed the cause.  I'll trade 
that for a "nice" subject line+clueless message body ANY day.

If he'd also been able to include a patch to fix the problem, I'd 
probably wet my pants.  [:-)]

BTW, why'd did you BCC: the cygwin list?  Blind copying makes it hard to 
keep message threads/replies on-list; requires manual intervention of 
prospective reply-ees.  (and it's been so long since I actually 
*initiated* a thread, I typed the cgywin mailing address in wrong the 
first time...)
