Solution to terrible performance in Cygwin under VPN

Solution to terrible performance in Cygwin under VPN

[Chuck Wilde]

               We did some debugging, and we eventually traced the problem down to using Cygwin downloaded by userid@oncorems.com<mailto:userid@oncorems.com> after our userid was updated to userid@neotech.com<mailto:userid@neotech.com>.  Something must be cached somewhere, and the discrepancy between the domains slows down commands tremendously.  We following the steps for Uninstalling Cygwin from Windows, reinstalled it as userid@neotech.com<mailto:userid@neotech.com>, and now our performance is back to what it was before.

Another possible solution is to install and configure the cygserver[1].
It will aid in credentials caching from various domains as long as the
authority servers are accessible.
