I couldn't find a link to the Cygwin 64 Bit Setup on the Cygwin Homepage.
Don't you think it's mature enough?
Â
I think it's already quite useful for the masses, even though it's "experimental"
and applications are missing.
Â
Cygwin is essential for me to "rsync" data between different Machines.
The 32 Bit version is extremely slow on my 64 Bit Windows 7.
But with Cygwin64 I got a huge speedup. Now it's extremely fast.
Especially on a second run, the OS apparently caches the filesystem
structures and rsync gets even faster than on the first run.
Â
Also many other scripts work as expected.
So I switched completely for my ".sh" bash file registry entry
to call Cygwin64 for my automation scripts.
Â
I think you should make this wonderful 64 Bit version more public.
On the homepage there is only the link to the 32 Bit version.
Â
Btw, I still have both versions installed, in case I need some apps
that are not available yet for 64 bit.
It's not a problem with this dual installation.
