You're not kidding - cygwin cvs performance is comparable to native performance on local drives. I'm obviously going to look through the archives to see previous discussions of network drive performance. In the meantime, do you know if the problem is one that just lacked someone willing to work on it, or if it is something intractable that would be difficult to fix? I just can't imagine what the cygwin dll is doing to treat local drives so differently. # I'm on a locale drive now. $ pwd /cygdrive/c/tmp/src/wl # cygwin cvs is plenty fast on local drives $ time cvs-cygwin.exe update -d locale real 0m55.282s user 0m5.749s sys 0m42.937s # 'native' cvs is only slightly faster $ time cvs-cyclic.exe update -d locale real 0m46.011s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.031s > > Speculation isn't worth much.
