Solved my own problem. I ran fc-cache and now xterm kicks off in under a
second... I have:
<dir>/cygdrive/c/windows/fonts/</dir>
In my /etc/fonts/local.conf so there's quite a few fonts to scan, which I
guess explains the delay. Question: the man page for fontconfig (man
fonts-conf) states that ~/.fonts-cache-* "is automatically maintained by
fontconfig". Does this mean that I don't have to remember to rerun
fc-cache when I install new fonts?
I still wonder whether its right that xterm is linked over 2000 times to
cygXt-6.dll
