Now I'm really confused.
cygwin was very slow -- then I killed Dropbox, and it sped back up.
But after a while it reverted to slow again (without Dropbox
restarting). I've repeated this behavior with a few other tasks--same
thing happened with Google Desktop and Skydrive. I'm not sure it
actually matters which task I kill -- but killing them will speed
things up for a bit and then it seems to revert to very slow again,
even if the tasks aren't restarted.
Can anyone offer a way to narrow/isolate the cause here? Is the above
behavior consistent with any hypothesis?
