Carlo, Do you have any anti-virus software running? 'ls -l' has to open each file, and this typically triggers your AV software to scan it. Depending on your AV product, and how you have configured it, this might explain unusual delays. If you do have AV software running, try repeating the

David, The odd thing is that the delay occurred on a file (in a directory) that, according to Carlo, do not exist. Nor do they exist on my system even though I have all of the Cygwin packages installed (including XFree86/Cygwin). Why would a simple attempt to access a non-existent file trigger

Carlo, I think your next step must be to run ls under strace and see where the excess time (presumably idle time) is going. Randall Schulz Mountain View, CA USA At 17:00 2002-11-19, Carlo Florendo wrote: Hi Igor, I tried disabling ntsec and ls -l is still slow. I'm using

Carlo, The difference between 'ls' and 'ls -l' is that 'ls -l' actually performs a stat() call on every file in the directory, whereas 'ls' simply reads the directory contents and doesn't touch the files. Therefore, the files themselves (or, rather, the stat records for them) need to be in disk

Thanks for the info. I've read the FAQ and it mentioned something about the // notation on the PATH environment variable. I checked my PATH variable and there was no presence of the // notation. I then set the PATH to include only the usual bin directories but ls -l is still considerably slow.
