Hi,
Chris and I are wondering how many people are using the Windows console as local console window in CYGWIN=tty mode and why. Here's why we ask: We are both not sure why anybody would use it voluntarily, given that it's I/O is extremly slow, compared to using a Windows console window in the default CYGWIN=notty mode or, even better, mintty. Actually, we only keep the console tty mode up because it was "always there", 14 years or so. So, if you're using a console in tty mode, why are doing that? Did you ever notice that it's much slower? Did you ever consider to switch to mintty or any other terminal emulator instead? If not, why? Would anybody really *miss* the CYGWIN=tty mode? If so, why? What does this mode have which isn't covered by notty mode or another terminal emulator? Please enlighten us, otherwise we will just rip out this terminal mode for good.
