The tools _are_ quite slower, and yes, that makes them look bad. Complain to Cygwin, but given all the emulation layers they use, it is unlikely that this will change. That is _very_ noticeable when you are using Cygwin Emacs/XEmacs as compared to the native compilations. > I (and probably the first-time AUCTeX user, too) don't understand > what `slower' means. `Larger' means that the download will take > longer, so that is something I understand.
