Re: Slow directory listing


Could be something else interfering. Known culprits include:


Sonic Solutions burning software containing DLA component Norton/MacAffee/Symantec antivirus or antispyware Logitech webcam software with "Logitech process monitor" service Kerio, Agnitum or ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall Iolo System Mechanic/AntiVirus/Firewall LanDesk Windows Defender Embassy Trust Suite fingerprint reader software wxvault.dll

For what it's worth, there is one directory on my system where the same issue occurs. The first ls takes forever, then subsequent ones go immediately. It doesn't matter whether "-l" is passed or just a bare "/bin/ls". It's a similar situation to the OP's problem, it is a directory which contains only a few (~20) subdirectories, but each of those contains 10^3-10^4 files. I don't have any of these known culprits installed, I have as few background processes as possible running. I always figured it wasn't cygwin's fault, just some quirk with the windows file system...
