RE: X11 becomes unresponsive. VERY unresponsive.
I don't recall any reported problems with Cygwin/X per se, but there is a HUGE hyperthreading-related thread on the main Cygwin list -- you might do well to check there. Here's an executive summary for the impatient: unless someone tracks down the problem and fixes it, or donates a hyperthreaded system that exhibits the problem to CGF, this won't get fixed. You don't have to donate a whole system yourself - just send money to CGF through Paypal, (CGF address: me -at- cgf -dot- cx), and when/if there's enough, he'll get a hyperthreaded system. -Richard Campbell.
Re: X11 becomes unresponsive. VERY unresponsive.
I've been having similar problems. I have not rebuilt my cygwin in quite a while and haven't had these problems before. any chance there's a conflict with some new patch in Windows 2000? I had not seen these performance problems previously, just the last few weeks. My CPU pegs at 100% during cygwin usage, typically with starting up new windows. It is close to unusable at times.

Re: X11 becomes unresponsive. VERY unresponsive.
I've also been having similar problems. Unresponsiveness on my end isn't as atrocious (I get delays in single seconds, mostly). For a test case, see my post ssh slowdowns under X.

Re: X11 becomes unresponsive. VERY unresponsive.
There are some reasons for poor Cygwin/X performance in the FAQ. One of them is a small program from ATI. I got rid of the ATI programs. cygwin/X lasted for awhile, and then hung exactly as before. What about CPU usage? Is XWin taking 100% and nothing happens? Or is it nearly idle? Entire PC 100% idle. Have you experienced any trouble with hyperthreading (feature of latest Intel CPUs)? I am using that feature. -- David Arnstein [EMAIL PROTECTED]
