I have found that automated virus checking slows down shell scripts and make processes A LOT. But I don't have any of that enabled and your script runs far slower for me than it does for you. Running off a cygexec mount point (mount --cygwin-executable) sped things up a little. The other answers you have received almost certainly have more to do with the root of this problem. -- Michael Hoffman The University of Texas at Austin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
