It's my understanding that the slowness we all seem to be seeing is due to
Corrina's recent NT security work somehow, and that she's already got a fix
checked in that will be in the next snapshot (that I was *sooo* hoping would
be out today ;-)).  As far as I can tell, Cygwin is hitting the network
constantly and heavily during the execution of pretty much any command, I
assume to verify that I'm really who I say I am or something.

I'm on a 2000 workstation on a network; are you non-networked 9x'ers seeing
similar slowness?
