I use `locate` heavily on my Linux machines, but everytime I've tried to run `updatedb` on cygwin I've given up and killed the process because it is taking too long. Is there something wrong with cygwin's implementation of `updatedb` making it not work at all or making it slower that on my Linux machines? Or are there others who have success using it on cygwin?
