Hey Chuck, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate list for this question, but I was wondering if you would entertain an option to use CreateProcess within cygstart (as opposed the default ShellExecuteEx), or a separate executable that uses CreateProcess? If this is inappropriate for this list, please let me know which list would be appropriate.
I've created a fairly basic utility (cygexec, source attached) that uses CreateProcess to launch windows executables. Doing some preliminary tests, it executes windows executables in about half a second (according to 'time') as opposed to 3.5 seconds with cygstart (as a result of the ShellExecuteEx call). Please let me know if your interested. Thank you, Chris -- Chris Sutcliffe http://emergedesktop.org
