RE: Slowing down

[Kevin Schnitzius <kevin dot schnitzius at citrix dot com>]

I just found the answer to this problem yesterday.  It was driving me crazy
too.

Bad:
export PATH=`cygpath -u $DEVSTUDIO\\\bin`:`cygpath -u
$TOOLS\\\Common\\\MSDev98\\\bin`:`cygpath -u $TOOLS\\\Util`:$PATH

Good:
export PATH=$S_DEVSTUDIO/bin:$S_TOOLS/Common/MSDev98/bin:$S_TOOLS/Util:$PATH

Where the S_ variables are the forward slash paths.  Moving the cygpath
calls to other lines did not change the problem.  I had to build the S_
variables by hand:
export TOOLS=z:\\tools\\win32
export S_TOOLS=/z/tools/win32

I'm not sure if this is the same problem.  I am running 1.0 CD version on
Terminal Server SP5.  The delays seem to occur in random windows.  There are
usually two delays: one when you press <Enter> after a command, and one
before the prompt reappears.  Commands themselves do not appear to have any
delay so it might be bash at fault.  Once the window is opened without the
delays, I cannot rerun the script and cause the delays.  This only seems to
happen during rcfile processing.

Today, I cannot recreate the problem.  However, last night, my machine was
in a state where it happened every time and I was able to track it down to
the path statement and the cygpath calls in particular.  The machine was not
rebooted between last night and now.

I compared our cygcheck's, it all looks very similar, however I am using
NT 4 SR
My cyg****.dll's are all from mid 1999, I have seen the latest
cygwin1.dll from aug 2000 on the redhat 'latest' area, but cannot find
the others! Are you running with a non formal release?

This problem is sending me crazy!!!
