(Hm, the FAQ didn't say that a virus scanner could incur a performance
penalty, it just said that it might prevent cygwin from functioning ;-)

Ok, I switched McAffee off.
But that reduced execution time only by about 1 sec:
-  with mcaffee running: real time = 7.4 sec, user time = 3.1 sec;
-  mcaffee not running: real = 6 sec, user time = 2.8 sec

That still seems pretty slow for just a few 100 lines of makefiles,
doesn't it?

Cheers,
Gab.
