Which Windows are you using? I see there are some issues with Windows 7: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2835775/msysgit-bash-is-horrendously-slow-in-windows-7
Other usual suspects are virus scanners, encrypted filesystems, network filesystems.. You got any of these? You could gather up the relevant information (Git version, OS details, etc) and report it on the msysgit mailing list here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/msysgit Coincidentially, the msysgit developers were discussing performance problems a couple of days ago (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/yy-yPNxaxgw/b9mX8qdrjNkJ) - so you're not the first to complain. --
