ok. after going back to as far as 1st of June i've started to think
that i should probably take some lessons in, ehr, positive thinking :)
it looks like the rest 10% of slowdown is not actually a "slowdown"
but rather a 10% speedup... I don't remember for sure but it looks
pretty much like i've been running my locally-hacked version of
cygwin1.dll, which replaced statically-allocated /dev/dsp buffer with
malloc()ed one. I'm not sure if such change could account for 10% of
performance, but we're getting too close to the statistical noise
threshold here to know for sure.
To resume. I think we should back out Corinna's "reread /etc/passwd"
patch for now, wait for some time until dust settles, and release
1.3.3. after that i'll try to remake my /dev/dsp patch and see what
performance gains it gives (if any).
