No excepts:
1) run "insight"
2) Prompt comes back after 0.8 seconds, and rxvt looses focus for that
time.
3) No insight windows ever appear, and no insight process is listed by
ps.

I've attached a cygcheck and strace of it's run.

I couldn't find any documentation on the format of the strace output, so
I've had to guess that:
Column#1 is microseconds for that call
#2 Cumulative microseconds

In that case, there were several calls that took many seconds, like:
13205827 23464519 [main] insight 2048 open: open
(/home/rcampbell/.gdbinit, 0x0)

Opening that file took 13 seconds?

And normalizing my HOME path took 7.5seconds?
