Time is now 45.2 seconds running Cucumber from within e text editor. Time is 32 seconds running Cucumber from the command line (bash). Is this the best I should expect from running Cucumber within Cygwin, or is something still out of whack with my environment? It seems that the people doing the same under Linux or on Mac have times like 3-4 seconds. I did check the list of programs that could be interfering with Cygwin. Removed Sonic DLA, the only one I had installed that was on the list. However, I did not notice any change. I am running Kaspersky, but it was not on the list, and I did not notice any difference when it was disabled. Any ideas for improving performance deeply appreciated Cheers, Jet -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
