Please cc me on any answers, as I am not subscribed to the list. I have a recent (a few weeeks old) cygwin install on my Win 7 laptop Core i5 (Sandy Bridge) + an SSD. When I first did the install I thought I saw a performance improvement over the ~ 1 year old install I had. In the past two weeks though, it has slowed way down. Running ./configure && make && make check in the gawk master branch takes close to half an hour, maybe more! On simlar hardware under Linux, it takes less than a minute. I had to disable the bash_completion stuff at startup to even get a shell prompt within a reasonable amount of time. Clerly something is wrong somewhere, but I'm not a Windows god so I have no idea where to look. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.
