Re: trouble posting to cygwin-apps
Hello, The mailing list does not accept html email, that's fair enough. The real problem is, it also bounces every email with a company disclaimer about intentions and original addressees. Well, the original addressee is cygwin at cygwin dot com, which is a public mailing list, readable even from Alpha Centauri (with 4 years delay). This policy is OK for most FOSS projects, but Cygwin should be an exception. I think Cygwin is used most by 3PPs within big companies where everybody _must_ use Windows and those disclaimers are always attached to outgoing mail. If you are a free and sane person, attracted to unixy stuff, you'd probably use Linux. Yes, I've read the posting instructions, and I know I should convince my employer to remove the disclaimers. What chance do you think I have to convince a 2-employee company, where central IT is not even in my country? They also restrict access to private email from the office. I know, I should leave them and/or buy a smartphone for emailing. :-) But my point is: the mailing list is cut off from its most important audience.

Re: Slowdown after update on Win32 (XP Home)
Hello, please see this thread (test scripts included): http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-09/msg00871.html I can only confirm this. Process creation is much slower with 1.7.7 than it was with 1.5.25. The fork script runs 300% slower on my XP box. But on the other hand, Marco Atzeri could not confirm this on his XP box. I'm sure it's all about time slowing down in the vicinity of black holes...

Re: R: Cygwin 1.7.7 fork/exec performance MUCH slower than 1.5.25
Ciao Marco, I do not think a real /home would help, as I have several colleagues who have a real /home, but still have similar slow performance with cygwin 1.7.x. What kind of ACL issue could this be? And why is it no problem for Cygwin 1.5.25? Anything to do with the new cyglsa.dll? The funny thing is, The sum of the sys and user times for the fork script is around 1 minute. What happens in the remaining 3 minutes, to make up that terrible time over 4 min? If I am watching the Windows Task Manager during the execution of the fork script, I see that the process System eats more than 50% of the CPU all the time. Best regards Gergely P.S: this is all Win32 (not x64) as you can see from the cygcheck files... -- 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
Re: R: Cygwin 1.7.7 fork/exec performance MUCH slower than 1.5.25
I'm aware of the bash-completion issue. I've removed it already. This is a different problem. My login shells don't take 2 minutes to start any more, now it's just a mere 2 seconds. :-) Best regards G -- 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
