RE: Slowness when setting PS1 variable???


Do you run a CPU-soaking background program such as SETI@home,
Folding@home (the protein folding experiment) or fightAIDS@home
(the AIDS drug discovery program)?

If so, you're seeing the result of the changes to how Cygin accesses
pipes in 1.3.18.
You hit the nail on the head!!

I'm running SETI@Home. Killed the process, launched a new bash shell, and voila! The slowdown has magically disappeared!
