Someone on another mailing list suggested the applications ported to Win32
using Cygwin are not up to scratch.
I don't understand why this might be: the compiler produces native x86
(and presumably very good!) code for the user space code and for UNIX
system calls, they would be handled by the DLL with a secondary call into
the Windows kernel.
Does anyone have any performance comparisons between "Cygwin" apps and
native Win32 applications? Is there any real performance penalty for
software with a high proportion of system calls?
Thanks,
Ben
