On another cygwin installation it reports the correct run time.
Yikes! Now Cygwin is too fast!! Please someone do *something* to slow it
down! This is just not acceptable!!! ;-)
I am *so* sick of people complaining about how fast cygwin is. Cygwin is
an emulation layer! It emulates linux! Linux is faster than Windows so
of *course* Cygwin will be faster than Windows, too.
Oh, I get it. If my processor is to slow I just have to get a emulation
prog. for a faster (maybe multiprocessor) one and run everything on top
of it. than maybe everuthing goes so fast that I cannot even see it.
Cheesh.

And God said"Let there be light."But then the program crashed because he was trying to access the 'light' property of a NULL universe pointer.
