The recent setup.exe update has caused bash.exe to have startup times approx. 10x longer than before. sh.exe starts pretty quickly but bash.exe via cygwin.bat takes ~30 seconds to start. Took just a couple of seconds before. Cpu is nowhere near pinned, hovering around 3% or 5%.
Each bash process spawn from within bash takes a long time as well making ./configure and make take a lot longer than before. Similar problem here: http://www.nabble.com/Slow-compile-issue-with-cygwin- make-since-v1.5.17-t3235008.html Interestingly enough, sh.exe spawns relatively quickly. Anyone else had similar problems or, more importantly, found a solution? Running XP sp2 on a fresh, plain vanilla cygwin install. antivirus is not the problem as bash started just fine on cygwin release just a few weeks ago.
