severe performance problems in cygwin


Hi,

I have severe performance problems with cygwin. Cygwin becomes almost
unusable. 

The problem seems to go away when cygwin window is out of focus, e.g.
when I click on some other window (not cygwin), cygwin performance
rapidly increases.

It has something with output to console window. When I decrease the
windows size performance also increases.

Does anyone have an idea.


Cygcheck attached.
