Remember one of the latest Freshmeat editorials where Linux community was compared with guys kicking each other. Lack of generalization... But I write this not to release funny thought (nor to be killed off from list), but to ask you, as cygwin veteran (as well as other authorities) whether following will be appropriate. I'm going to benchmark as many POSIX implementations as I will be able to put my hands on (this will ammount to very-very little, and generally I'd prefer someone else to do this, but I'm afraid noone will bother). Cygwin will be included. So, will results (with appropriate disclaimer and links to tests sources) be interesting for cygwin community/appropriate for cygwin mailing list?
