  Wow!  Who ever said Americans don't get irony?  That was perfect!  And
TOFU too!

OoC Ironic assessment (was Serious performance problems (malloc related?))

[Linda W]

OoC! OoC!!! (Out of Context) and poppycock!  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*
