cygwin on virtual box vm

- Subject: cygwin on virtual box vm
I have Windows XP Pro x32 in a VM with the latest version of cygwin
installed.
When I open a cygwin bash shell, and type '$ls' it just sits there forever.
Any other command I type is freakishly slow. How do I get this to run
faster under a vm environment.
I am not sure why it is taking so long to do a simple ls or mkdir or any
other command.
Even if I $vi a file it takes a while seriously cutting into the
productivity gains that cygwin on the host environment provides.
