I have just discovered more or less the same BUT think the problem is the NT networking not gnuwin32. To support this I timed ls to local and networked drives - wow the network took 10 times as the local drive and dir took around the same ratio (if not more). Does anyone know how to asses NT network peformance?

I've installed the coolview update (when will it be incorporated > into the 'vanilla' cygwin32 tools anyways?) and it is going a bit faster. The "coolview" sources represent a state of the actual Cygnus development tree as of whenever that was made. It's made more progress since then; right now I'm battling race conditions in the signal code... Right now I can do a complete configure of the compiler tools (including tcl/tk) in about 20 minutes and build them in an hour 15 min. which is a huge improvement performance-wise. But signal handling isn't quite as robust as it needs to be... -- Geoffrey Noer noer AT cygnus DOT com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help". - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
