I also use cygwin for managing seti work units (simple shell script alows to
compute 100 work units in off line mode). Trying latest (dated on
2005-Mar-16) snapshot solved problem partially. Starting a new cygwin shell
session is now quick - it does not matter if seti works or not. However
stoping shell script that runs seti still takes lots of seconds - I did not
observe such behaviuor with any released cygwin dll before 1.5.13-1. My
CYGWIN variable is set to:
CYGWIN=tty notitle glob notraverse
