I have even done some investigation - the problem appears to be in the number of file accesses the cygwin system does - substantially more than MS VC++ or MINGW32 resulting in extra delays. The reason is apparently to do with the NT file semantics being mapped to UNIX file semantics but I don't know the details [I would appreciate the details if anyone knows] Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Ronald Pijnacker [SMTP:Ronald.Pijnacker@best.ms.philips.com] Sent: 28 April 1998 09:48 To: cygwin Subject: CygWin32 B19 over a Network Drive Hi all, For a while I am using CygWin32 B19.1 on a WindowsNT 4.0. We have set-up a small cvs-repository over a Network Drive. My experience with this is that accessing files and listing directories on the Networked drive is _much_ slower under cygwin32 than e.g. at the ms-dos command prompt. Is there a reason for this? Could I do anything about it?
