I must have contracted this slowdown last week. My Cygwin is up to date as of now, October 1st, 01:00 CET Starting a MinTTY (or rxvt, for that matter) from the icon I've placed in the start menu does not take the usual two or three seconds, but may take as much as a whole minute. During this startup attempt phase, I can see various bash processes with different PIDs bubbling to the top in taskmgr. I've seen up to three of them at the same time when my MinTTY was trying to start as the first Cygwin process, so there should have been no other bash processes around. This is Win32, XP Home SP3. I hope this description is helpful in debugging this issue. -- Michael Ludwig -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
