It could also be related to your Cygwin setup in general, not spesific to LyX. For instance, if you start a normal bash shell window and run a few TeX/SGML/whatever commands, does it take a long time before they actually start doing something?
If it does, have you modified your PATH enviroment variable? Is it exceedingly long? Then shorten it. That speeded things up for me at least. And make sure your Cygwin directories are at the beginning of your PATH. If you haven't modified your PATH, but maybe some other aspects of Cygwin, try to delete it and reinstall it. Make sure you clean out your registry also before you reinstall it. I had to do that once too, and I got rid of the problem. - IT >>> "Eugenio Guevara" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 13.08.02 22:59 >>> >Most of the times that Lyx freezes the computer for a while is because of >>the autosave feature.
