Hello there,
I use Cygwin to do some complex text processing jobs using shell scripts on Thinkpad X200s Windows XP sp3. It had worked fine before but at some point I noticed the job started to take much time to complete. It is taking about ten times period compare to before. I don't know what had triggered this exactly.

So one command take about 1 sec to complete. On other machines with similar configuration the above testing shows about 10 forks/sec on average.
similar machine T410 with XP SP3

possible cause: bash-completion installed or BLODA (mainly antivirus)
