Since I don't have a "HOME" env var in windows, cygwin is getting the
cygwin HOME from /etc/passwd. So I tried it both ways. With 1.5 I set
home to be the empty directory /home/smited (under c:/cygwin). It
didn't make it any faster. With beta-1.7 I set home to
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/smited (where all the cruft is) and
it didn't make it any slower. So where cygwin points $HOME at terminal
startup does not seem to have an effect for me. Current version 1.5 is
slow while beta-1.7 is fast, for still unknown reasons.
I guess you're stuck looking at strace output to see if that helps
pinpoint the problem...
