Antivirus ?
Some time on my system with McAfee, when I create a
huge number of files with cygwin the process "explorer.exe"=20
go to 50% (100% of 1 CPU)and I need to kill it.=20
I guess there is a timing problem between the antivirus
and cygwin-1.7.

also here is Win32 XP SP2, and there is no difference in timing

PS: cygwin B15 and B20 ? How old is your PC :-?
