Hello,

I've downloaded cygwin including the rxvt-Terminal.
The local terminal with bash works great, but when I connect in a rxvt-Window to
a remote-Server via ssh and run there "vi", the vi-startup needs a few seconds...
When I use the simple Bash-Shell in the Windows-Command-Window then vi is much
faster (it opens the file instantly). Also closing vi by ":q!" needs more time
when using rxvt than simple-bash.

Why is remote vi so slow when I use rxvt? Would that be better if I use xterm
(currently not installed)? 

Additional information:
I had to set 
export TERM=cygwin
in my ~/.bashrc - otherwise the remote host answers 
"unknown terminal type, falling back to 'dumb'"
or
"WARNING: terminal is not fully functional"

Rgds
Dieter
