I didn't speculate on the problem, I speculated what made Window's 'File-Open's so slow. This is a known problem. It wasn't speculation about what cygwin was doing. ;-/ Unless, you are asserting that I haven't instrumented WinXP to find it's performance bottlenecks, but that would hardly be necessary to comment on performance issues concerning POSIX emulation vs. native performance. Wind me up, you are trying, me thinks. *Plblblb* -l Dave Korn wrote: >----Original Message---- > > >>From: Linda W >>Sent: 02 June 2005 10:26 >> >> > > > > >>Christopher Faylor wrote: >> >> >> >>>Yep.
