At least in my experience, standard cygwin install doesn't create anything under /home. But, yes, I've also unset $HOME. No difference. I also tried a brand new install into a new directory with default settings, both of 1.7 and legacy 1.5. Still no difference (1.5 is actually even slower). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
