Are you serious? I mean are you really seriously serious about that? 

You have shell scripts(?) called Foo.txt?! And you are complaining 
that a Cygwin shell script(?) runs slower when Zone Alarm(!!) is 
running. And crashing. I mean, sorry. That's silly. Really silly. 
Install Zone Alarm on your MAC and the compare the timings. Or the 
crashings.

FYI: Zone Alarm is one of the famous applications that make "Cygwin" 
sincerely misbehave. So if something doesn't work or crash the first 
question is: are you running Zone Alarm or [insert other apps]? If 
yes, then uninstall.
