Since I knew a thing like cygwin existed, I installed the complete set of packages and I was thrilled. But simple commands like ls take this time $ time ls -l total 23 drwxr-xr-x 1 kkoorapa mkgroup- 0 Nov 11 17:50 Mail -rw-r--r-- 1 kkoorapa mkgroup- 39 Nov 10 17:42 t.c -rwxr-xr-x 1 kkoorapa mkgroup- 11224 Nov 10 17:40 t.exe -rwxr-xr-x 1 kkoorapa mkgroup- 11224 Nov 10 17:43 tt.exe real 0m18.115s user 0m0.020s sys 0m0.010s Likewise any utility I try to use like vi, emacs etc just take really long. I'm not sure how I could debug this. I did try to use strace etc, but got no clues. Searching the archives also did not help me. BTW, I use Win 2000 Pro on a DELL Box with 512MB RAM and at this time, top shows this: 18:18:11 up 7:57, 0 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 7 processes: 6 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 0.2% user, 1.2% system, 0.0% nice, 98.6% idle Mem: 522228K total, 210788K used, 311440K free, 0K buffers Swap: 753248K total, 276720K used, 476528K free, 0K cached Thanks for any help !
