What applications have been found to interfere with Cygwin? In case anyone cares about the details of my datum, and in case anyone ever searches for the exact system in the archives: It lists "Norton/McAfee/Symantec antivirus or antispyware". In my case, the exact installable is called Symantec Endpoint Protection. "Integrated antivirus, antispyware, firewall, and intrusion prevention as well as device control and application control" and "Powerful central management of security", so it's antivirus and antispyware and more. Before uninstalling Symantec Endpoint Protection (note: no Superfetch, and Program Compatibility Assistant disabled in gpedit policy edit, but the PCA Service running): $ time echo hi | read x real 0m1.928s user 0m0.031s sys 0m0.031s After uninstalling Symantec Endpoint Protection (no changes to Superfetch or PCA Service): $ time echo hi | read x real 0m0.093s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.061s Unfortunately, now I'm required to reinstall. -- Tim McDaniel, tmcd@panix.com -- 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
