RE: performance of cygwin32

[Kevin Hughes <kh at wg dot icl dot co dot uk>]

Dear all,
	I have been chasing performance problems with our build system which ran on unix and is
Snail like on NT (i.e. it is unusable). I have just discovered more or less the same BUT  think
the problem is the NT networking not gnuwin32. 

To support this I timed ls to local and networked drives - wow the network took 10 times as 
the local drive and dir took around the same ratio (if not more). 

Does anyone know how to asses NT network peformance?

The "coolview" sources represent a state of the actual Cygnus development
tree as of whenever that was made.  It's made more progress since then;
right now I'm battling race conditions in the signal code...

Right now I can do a complete configure of the compiler tools (including
tcl/tk) in about 20 minutes and build them in an hour 15 min. which is a 
huge improvement performance-wise.  But signal handling isn't quite as
robust as it needs to be...
