I recoved the Win installation (Firewall, WinUpdate, hidden files, damaged shortcut and so on) and now all work as expected. But Cygwin, it use about 1 s per shell command. For example: $ time env HOMEPATH=\Docume ... COMPUTERNAME=MES real 0m1.075s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.015s $ time time Usage: time [-apvV] [-f format] [-o file] [--append] [--verbose] [--portability] [--format=format] [--output=file] [--version] [--help] command [arg...] real 0m1.033s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.030s It is evident to me, that the command is immediately executed at the right speed, then a second is spent before return back to the shell prompt. Happen with those shell: - bash - xterm Script execution is very slow so. I tried some of the suggested solutions found googling: - deinstalled bash completion - set the path to /bin only - stopping all unnecessary Windows services no difference. Other suggestions? thank you, Valerio -- 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
