I have a corporate version of 8.1.1.323, and see no slowdowns. I didn't have to do anything special to make it work.

I added the entire c:\cygwin\ tree to the Symantec exclusion list, but the slowdown is still there. There's also no difference if you disable network drive scanning, or something called Threat Tracer (the purpose of TT is "Identify the source of network share-based virus infections on computers that are running Windows NT/2000/XP operating systems.") This really sucks. I don't want to run without antivirus protection, but the delay is really irritating. Is anybody using Symantec Antivirus and NOT seeing a delay? If so, what version of SA are you using? I have "full version 9.0.0.1400", scan engine 1.2.0.13.
