Re: improve the overall performance w/ cygwin-1.1.2 ???

["Dave Arnold" <avr_fan at nettaxi dot com>]

hi,

I've noticed the same thing, slowness of program execution under cygwin
bash.
simple programs such as 'ls' seem to display very slow compared to DOS
but I also understand that there's that "posix emulation" layer between us
and
the actual OS so, things of course will take longer because of the extra
overhead
to map calls and translate things from unix world to dos/windows format.

But despite this, are there obvious things I can do/check to improve the
overall
performance?
