Now I'm really confused. cygwin was very slow -- then I killed Dropbox, and it sped back up. But after a while it reverted to slow again (without Dropbox restarting). I've repeated this behavior with a few other tasks--same thing happened with Google Desktop and Skydrive. I'm not sure it actually matters which task I kill -- but killing them will speed things up for a bit and then it seems to revert to very slow again, even if the tasks aren't restarted. Can anyone offer a way to narrow/isolate the cause here? Is the above behavior consistent with any hypothesis? -- 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
