Since I don't have a "HOME" env var in windows, cygwin is getting the cygwin HOME from /etc/passwd. So I tried it both ways. With 1.5 I set home to be the empty directory /home/smited (under c:/cygwin). It didn't make it any faster. With beta-1.7 I set home to /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/smited (where all the cruft is) and it didn't make it any slower. So where cygwin points $HOME at terminal startup does not seem to have an effect for me. Current version 1.5 is slow while beta-1.7 is fast, for still unknown reasons.
I guess you're stuck looking at strace output to see if that helps pinpoint the problem... -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
