hi,
my Cygwin 1.7.9 on WinXP (full updated) becomed slow after malware 
'Mal/FakeAvCn-A' perform some SW damage.
I recoved the Win installation (Firewall, WinUpdate, hidden files, damaged 
shortcut and so on) and now all work as expected.
But Cygwin, it use about 1 s per shell command.
For example:
$ time env
HOMEPATH=\Docume
...
COMPUTERNAME=MES
real    0m1.075s
user    0m0.030s
sys     0m0.015s

$ time time
Usage: time [-apvV] [-f format] [-o file] [--append] [--verbose]
       [--portability] [--format=format] [--output=file] [--version]
       [--help] command [arg...]
real    0m1.033s
user    0m0.030s
sys     0m0.030s

It is evident to me, that the command is immediately executed at the right 
speed, then a second is spent before return back to the shell prompt.
Happen with those shell:
- bash
- xterm

Script execution is very slow so.

I tried some of the suggested solutions found googling:
- deinstalled bash completion
- set the path to /bin only
- stopping all unnecessary Windows services
no difference.

Other suggestions?

thank you,
Valerio
