The culprit is Endnote X.0.2. I found the Word STARTUP folder (Word: Tools -> Options -> File locations -> Startup), closed Word, moved the Zotero.dot files (the Zotero plugin) out of it, re-started Cygwin, started Word, still slow. Then I shut Word down, moved the EN10Cwyw files (the EndNote plugin) out of STARTUP, re-started Word, and Cygwin was slow again. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
