I've read the FAQ and it mentioned something about the // notation on the PATH environment variable. I checked my PATH variable and there was no presence of the // notation. I then set the PATH to include only the usual bin directories but "ls -l" is still considerably slow. I try both "time ls -b" and "time ls -l" and there is considerable difference. The cygwin1.dll version I am using is 1.3.15-cygwin-1-3-15-1. fcarlo@ZEUS~ $ time ls -b a b test real 0m0.024s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.015s fcarlo@ZEUS ~ $ time ls -l total 11 -rw-r--r-- 1 fcarlo None 5 Nov 19 13:58 a -rw-r--r-- 1 fcarlo None 5 Nov 19 13:58 b -rw-r--r-- 1 fcarlo None 8283 Nov 19 13:59 test real 0m1.819s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.000s > On Monday 18 Nov 02, Carlo Florendo writes: > > Hello, > > > > I've been using cygwin for 3 years now and last week, I downloaded the > > latest cygwin from one of the mirrors and everything in well except for one > > problem.
