Re: CDROM Access very slow under Windows XP: Oops - my bad.


This seems to be a problem with either the cd in question or the XP command
interpreter.  Other stuff running from cmd.exe is just as slow.  Windows
explorer isn't.  If it turns out that it isn't the CD, maybe I'll say
something about it to Microsoft, as I do quite a bit of stuff from the
command line and/or bash.
