To clarify: Is this the new "BOINC" client for [EMAIL PROTECTED], or the older standalone version? I never had a speed problem with the older version, but I did with the BOINC one. > I believe you're experiencing the same problem discussed in > <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-03/msg00159.html>. > Summary: Try a snapshot. The latest snapshot does work to fix these problems for me. The problem I first saw, actually, was a severalfold(~50 times) slowdown in scp, which I got to go away by pausing the BOINC client(which is running both [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ClimatePrediction software). But yesterday I discovered that starting up Cygwin shells was also slow. The snapshot fixes the scp problem as well. --Aaron V.
