I was having the same problem as Patrick Graebal (see Bash hangs, CTRL-C required). The cygwin shell was very slow to start, and executing "bash --login -i -x" showed that the time consuming programs were the same (id -un, uname -s, etc.). I also tried reinstalling base packages, a complete reinstall, etc. On a whim, I shut down [EMAIL PROTECTED], and things were back to normal speed.
I believe you're experiencing the same problem discussed in <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-03/msg00159.html>.
