In particular, shell scripts (e.g. "configure" scripts) are ridiculously
slow, as is "make" on large projects
I find Vista, XP and 2000 are all (roughly) equally slow. That is, I think
it's a "Windows" thing rather than a "Vista" thing.
I can build ('./configure' and 'make') and test ('make check') *both* GMP
and MPFR on my linux box in the time it takes to run './configure' and
'make' for GMP *alone* on Cygwin. And that's the case irrespective of
whether the Windows box is 2k, XP, or Vista.
I have the impression that a build in the MSYS shell is slightly quicker
than a build in Cygwin's bash shell - but I haven't timed a comparison and
*could* be mistaken about that.
Cheers,
Rob
