Cygwin's performance is a regular source of complaints on this list (and elsewhere).By the way... Right now i'm testing 64-bit Cygwin, and it appears to be significantly faster. I wonder, did you do anything special to achieve this ? Or does this mean just that 32-bit API on 64-bit Windows is slow ?The 64-bit port employed fewer hippos. As it turns out, they were terrible coders.
And hippos aside (I think we all know how difficult it is to do that!), 64-bit proggies on 64-bit CPUs are supposed to be a little zippier anyway.
